The renaissance faires with their jesters and mummers, their actors and minstrels, were attended by everyone in the surrounding area who came to be entertained, fed and watered with the food and drink laid out for everybody to partake in the celebrations. These periods of celebration of the end of winter and beginning of spring are reenacted in America and elsewhere in the world in the form of Renaissance Fairs that involve dressing up, entertainment and lots of food and drink presented to represent the period in history being celebrated.
Renaissance Fairs in America were originally intended to be reenactments of the real things, but are now a mix of the old and the new. Queen Elizabeth and her dandified consorts mix with characters wearing Lord of the Rings costumes, and authentically dressed lords and ladies with their renaissance costumes mix with the fictional Three Musketeers and others wearing popular movie costumes. Roast beef and English ale are on offer from landlords who don fantasy costumes made from their own imagination, while others eat pork with their fingers while supping a cup of mead or small beer.
The true English renaissance period occurred during the 15th and 16th centuries, during most of the Tudor reign. King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I are the two most famous monarchs of the era, and this is seen by the costumes worn by those who try to emulate them, in appearance if not in deeds.
It might be taking a liberty with history, but it is entertaining. Participants wear the costume that they deem suitable for the period, and it is not unknown for popular movie characters to make the occasional appearance, such as the foresaid Three Musketeers, and also Mary Queen of Scots, but with her body and head complete.
Admission is normally required for these events, but is well worth the money. The food and drink are normally marvelous and frequently authentically cooked — or not, as the case may be! Many American Renaissance Fairs insist on authenticity, not only in dress, but right through to the language used and music played. Ruffs and stockings form the neck a leg decoration of choice for men and women alike Renaissance fares can last for a day or a weekend, and the social events normally portray specific aspects of life during that period in English history, with cookery demonstrations and musical renditions using the instruments of the period.
