Medieval Royal Balls Empty
PostSubject: Medieval Royal Balls   Medieval Royal Balls EmptyThu Apr 15, 2010 3:56 am

Hi
Does anyone have a clue when and where Royal Balls started?
I have heard that they may have started in Italy in about the 12th century but I do not have any proof.
I know that King David (circa 1000BC) was keen on dance but I do not know if he ever had a Royal Ball. Also dance is mentioned in King Herod's Palace at about the time of Christ "On Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for them and pleased Herod so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked."
Any help with this would be much appreciated.

"1393-01-28 - Fire during Royal Ball at Paris, 4 die (Ball of the
Ardents)"

I would look for the origin in France.

Grrrr Medieval Royal Balls Icon_scratch now she says I've got to describe the Ball gown (a dress that I mentioned). She says I can't just say it was beautiful. Medieval Royal Balls 634186
Editors have far too much power. We'll have to start an authors union to stand up for our rights.Medieval Royal Balls 592730
Man, is she forgetting that I'm just a mere mortal man. Describe a ball gown, I ask you. How the fliipin' heck do I do that?

While on the subject of Editors
Three men: an editor, a photographer, and a journalist are covering a political convention in Miami. They decide to walk up and down the beach during their lunch hour. Halfway up the beach, they stumbled upon a lamp. As they rub the lamp a genie appears and says "Normally I would grant you three wishes, but since there are three of you, I will grant you each one wish."

The photographer went first. "I would like to spend the rest of my life living in a huge house in St. Thomas with no money worries." The genie granted him his wish and sent him on off to St. Thomas.

The journalist went next. "I would like to spend the rest of my life living on a huge yacht cruising the Mediterranean, with no money worries." The genie granted him his wish and sent him off.

Last, but not least, it was the editor's turn. "And what would your wish be?" asked the genie.

"I want them both back after lunch," replied the editor, "the deadline for tomorrow's newspaper is in ten hours.

Ah! Look what I found.
http://www.verymerryseamstress.com/dresses-by-style.htm
Now I just have to decide which gown to choose then find out what each piece of clothing is called. Sad
First I have to choose the category. I think the the Celtic gowns would be the best as Brittany was (& probably still is) a Celtic country.
Any help for a poor lost (hopelessly out of depth) male would be much appreciated. Medieval Royal Balls 925501

I wouldn't touch this royal balls line with a ten foot pole.
I've got a reputation to protect.

Maybe I should have gotten a male editor. Medieval Royal Balls 429754
