a terrible event at a Western medieval banquet

 One of the banquets that took place under Charles VI could be linked to the disturbances caused by young people at remarriage banquets. The banquet is known as the "Goblin Fire Ball" because of its tragic ending. "I could see all kinds of masks there. People danced to the sound of musical instruments until midnight. It's a pity. No one knew that having fun like this would end in a terrible tragedy." One of the daughters-in-law of Queen Izabod-Barbier was a maid named Catherine, who was particularly favored by the queen. It was because she was from Germany and could speak German perfectly like a queen. The king decided to marry this lady-in-law to a rich German aristocrat, and took this opportunity to show off that she was generous. Countless celebrities gathered at Saint Paul's Palace where the wedding was to take place. Since the bride had passed away from her husband three times, the nobles wanted to jeer at her marrying again like this. The clergyman of Saint-Denny writes: In some parts of the kingdom, there are people who think it is the height of dishonor for a woman to remarry. That's why they don't hesitate to do all sorts of unpleasant things at weddings, or they dress up as little girls and give all kinds of insults to the bride and groom." The king, attracted by the pranks of some of the court nobles, wanted to enjoy this entertainment. Five nobles besides him were chosen to wear linen clothes from head to toe, and a bundle of hemp crumbs was attached to the clothes with resin. Then I put on a mask. In this disguise, they stormed into the banquet hall, making obscene gestures, screaming horrors, and running around with wolf cries. The behaviour was no less abject than their dancing. They also danced madly in the Saracen style. At that time, one of the participants inadvertently threw a firework at one of the rioters, not thinking that he would cause a terrible situation, but the clothes of the rioters who were running and dancing here and there caught fire and quickly burned. The unhappy people jumped up and down with terrible screams. The fire soared to the ceiling, and melted resin flowed down the body and dug into the skin. This pain lasted about half an hour. They burned themselves trying to extinguish the fire or tear their clothes and burned not only in both hands but also inside their bodies. Count Giouani died while people were moving, Pooh's son-in-law and Emery de Poitier died two days later, and Wiggede Gise died three days later. The only people who escaped death were the king and Lord Roe. As soon as Sir Nantouye noticed the fire, he jumped into a bucket full of water in the kitchen of the court kitchen. Duchess Berry saved him from death by wrapping the king in her dress. ====On a medieval night, Jean Verdon: In France, kings and nobles were almost burned to death while dressing up and playing at banquets...-_-;
