Author Topic: Those Burgundians knew how to party! Jeff Johnson Member Member # 22 posted 11-02-2000 03:28 PM                   "Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie...": A Mother Goose rhyme records the Feast of the Pheasant of 1454, when 28 French musicians hidden inside a huge pie performed for the Duke of Burgundy. Courtesy of "The History Channel". Pity they forgot to bake the pie...

Have a book all about the purpose of Ceremony in Medieval Ghent. Also, look at any of the functions including Margaret of York's marriage to Charles in 1468, want to talk about a party that is still celebrated today in Bruges? We will post the details either tonight or this week. Jenn [This message has been edited by Fire Stryker (edited 11-02-2000).] Registered: May 2000  |  IP: Logged
