Why did the tudors use their left hand for falconry?

The Tudors used their left hand for falconry primarily because most falconers were right-handed, allowing them to maintain better control and dexterity when handling the birds. By using the left hand to hold the falcon, the right hand remained free to manipulate the lure or other equipment. This arrangement facilitated more effective training and handling of the birds during hunts. Additionally, many falconers trained their birds to perch on the left arm, aligning with this practice.
