Royal Balls...
Here's something I never thought of until I read the post on time periods- what is the title of the person who would have planned all of those royal balls that feature so heavily in fairy tales? Whether the ball that introduces the characters to each other or celebrates their wedding afterwards, it must be *someone's* job, right?
Just curious. :)

Master of the Revels
In Elizabethan times this office was "Master of the Revels," who would also have been in charge of plays and entertainment in general.

Master of the Revels
Hey Kerrie,
I think *that's* what you should do as an occupation! It would combine all your flair for the atmospheric and dramatic and party/wedding planning! It sounds like great fun! There should be more balls!

Re: Master of the Revels
Richard- Thank you- I should have at least remembered that from "Shakespeare in Love" if not from elsewhere. I wonder if there was ever a "Mistress of the Revels" or if that was the Chatelaine?
Tara- How ever did you guess? ;) My latest attempts at a business
(one that has slightly less initial out-of-pocket costs) is event
planning and I would love to include balls! Anyone interested? ;)
Sugarplum dreams,
Kerrie (who needs to learn to focus)

balls
Wow! Ever since reading this thread, I've been googling around for more stuff, but have not found all that much. I'd *love* to find a good book on historical "fairy tale"-type balls if anyone has any suggestions?

how about this
Kerrie,
Do you have this book?
Medieval Celebrations: How to Plan for Holidays, Weddings, and Reenactments With Recipes, Customs, Costumes, Decorations, Songs, Dances, and Games
by Daniel Diehl, Mark Donnelly
I ran across it while looking for dance history books. Hey maybe
I should do some writing today instead of procrastinating. :D
