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.

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.

Answer:

Representatives of the clergy and members of the nobility would be the people who would be part of the Common Council, while peasants and ordinary people would be left out.

The Common Council was the body created, through the magma letter, to limit the action of the king and act as a type of parliament capable of managing and administering the country in several categories. This council was formed by members of the clergy, such as archbishops, bishops, abbots, counts and great barons of the kingdom; and, by members of royalty. However, ordinary citizens like peasants were left out, which means that they had no kind of representation that could be positive towards them.
