6 0


During the Medieval era (500 - 1500 AD), the main form of entertainment for lords and ladies was holding of banquets at their castles. Together with invited guests of high nobility, the lords and ladies sat at the high table and ate rich food and wine served by squires while being entertained by court jesters who would try make the guests laugh and  minstrels who would play music as requested. Outdoor entertainment involved jousts and hunting, mostly for the gentlemen.  Indoor board games such as chess were  common while the ladies would enjoy sewing and making fine embroidery. Dancing and singing were also commonplace.

Things really took off during the Elizabethan period from 1558 to 1603. It was  an age in which there was quite a desire to acquire some social polish, therefore grand balls and parties were the order of the day. This was further enhanced by the explosive growth of printing . Invitations to these social events was by card, which really added to their prestige. Lords and ladies would compete to host the grandest, most spectacular balls, making sure the high and mighty in society were invited such as the king and queen, so that they would be the talk of the town for as long as possible.

What caused the shift from hunting to farming?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Drs. Bowles and Choi suggest that farming arose among people who had already settled in an area rich with hunting and gathering resources, where they began to establish private property rights. When wild plants or animals became less plentiful, they argue, people chose to begin farming instead of moving on.

vodka [1.7K]

The Tang Dynasty of China was notable for returning civil-service exams to use and creating the following type of society based on ability rather than birthrights:

  • The type of society it created was a society based on merit.
  • Yes, a society based on personal merit, knowledge, and progress, instead of birthrights.
  • In Imperial China times, Civil Service Examinations were a requirement to choose the appropriate candidate to occupy an office in the government.

  • During the Teng Dynasty, the government changed its military approach to a more type of bureaucratic system.
  • This new system was run by Chinese civilians that had the knowledge and credentials to occupy these positions.

We conclude that one consequence of the civil service examination system used by the Tang dynasty was that Chinese government officials were selected based on their skills and abilities rather than their family history.
