From Lachlan of Cromarty
The hall was lavishly decorated with flowers and chandeliers, plus "grand and exotic new-world fruits" (pumpkins). At one end of the hall stood a colorful pavilion with a fountain that flowed with "wine" (At the historic event, two wine fountains stood outside of Henry's temporary palace--given that this event was in a modern-day middle school, sparkling grape juice was served instead). Above the hall flew the banners of the Kings of England and France, the banners of ten great French and English lords present at the Field of Cloth of Gold, and the banners of Caid and the Company of Clothiers.
Adjacent to the dance hall was a patio enclosed with temporary walls. Inside was a long buffet table, regularly stocked, and gaming tables provided by the Inn of the Crimson Spade and Mealla Caimbeul, all lit (albeit dimly) by real candle chandeliers.
Dances were led by Giuseppe Francesco da Borgia and Elva Mac Askil to the musical accompaniment of the Unusual Consort. The band also brought along a couple of “Rommelpots”, a peculiar percussion instrument that makes a sound something like a donkey’s brae. It is easy enough to play that many revelers gave it a few strokes.
The fashion show chronicled the evolution of garments in France and England from the dark ages through the Renaissance. In all, twenty garments were displayed and described by Master of Ceremonies, Giles Hill.
Ludwig Mahler von Koeln took formal portraits of the well-dressed revelers.
While the event was only lightly attended, everyone present had a merry time indeed!
