It has begun and the dancers are assembled in the great hall.
The Duke nods his approval to the servants and music fills the cavernous room with a tinkling of bells and the gentle pluck of strings.
Great plates of food and large flagons of wine are marched into the banquet chamber in a military fashion that was practiced for weeks ahead, to avoid any errors of impropriety, and placed before the guests.
And they begin to partake of their royal hosts hospitality.
Have a salubrious Saturday!
