THE GRAND HALL.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree hundred and forty-eight years, six months, and nineteen days ago\u003cbr\u003eto-day, the Parisians awoke to the sound of all the bells in the triple\u003cbr\u003ecircuit of the city, the university, and the town ringing a full peal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sixth of January, 1482, is not, however, a day of which history has\u003cbr\u003epreserved the memory. There was nothing notable in the event which\u003cbr\u003ethus set the bells and the bourgeois of Paris in a ferment from early\u003cbr\u003emorning. It was neither an assault by the Picards nor the Burgundians,\u003cbr\u003enor a hunt led along in procession, nor a revolt of scholars in the town\u003cbr\u003eof Laas, nor an entry of \"our much dread lord, monsieur the king,\" nor\u003cbr\u003eeven a pretty hanging of male and female thieves by the courts of Paris.\u003cbr\u003eNeither was it the arrival, so frequent in the fifteenth century, of\u003cbr\u003esome plumed and bedizened embassy. It was barely two days since the last\u003cbr\u003ecavalcade of that nature, that of the Flemish ambassadors charged with\u003cbr\u003econcluding the marriage between the dauphin and Marguerite of Flanders,\u003cbr\u003ehad made its entry into Paris, to the great annoyance of M. le Cardinal\u003cbr\u003ede Bourbon, who, for the sake of pleasing the king, had been obliged\u003cbr\u003eto assume an amiable mien towards this whole rustic rabble of Flemish\u003cbr\u003eburgomasters, and to regale them at his Hôtel de Bourbon, with a very\u003cbr\u003e\"pretty morality, allegorical satire, and farce,\" while a driving rain\u003cbr\u003edrenched the magnificent tapestries at his door.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat put the \"whole population of Paris in commotion,\" as Jehan de\u003cbr\u003eTroyes expresses it, on the sixth of January, was the double solemnity,\u003cbr\u003eunited from time immemorial, of the Epiphany and the Feast of Fools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn that day, there was to be a bonfire on the Place de Grève, a maypole\u003cbr\u003eat the Chapelle de Braque, and a mystery at the Palais de Justice. It\u003cbr\u003ehad been cried, to the sound of the trumpet, the preceding evening at\u003cbr\u003eall the cross roads, by the provost's men, clad in handsome, short,\u003cbr\u003esleeveless coats of violet camelot, with large white crosses upon their\u003cbr\u003ebreasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo the crowd of citizens, male and female, having closed their houses\u003cbr\u003eand shops, thronged from every direction, at early morn, towards some\u003cbr\u003eone of the three spots designated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach had made his choice; one, the bonfire; another, the maypole;\u003cbr\u003eanother, the mystery play. It must be stated, in honor of the good sense\u003cbr\u003eof the loungers of Paris, that the greater part of this crowd directed\u003cbr\u003etheir steps towards the bonfire, which was quite in season, or towards\u003cbr\u003ethe mystery play, which was to be presented in the grand hall of the\u003cbr\u003ePalais de Justice (the courts of law), which was well roofed and walled;\u003cbr\u003eand that the curious left the poor, scantily flowered maypole to shiver\u003cbr\u003eall alone beneath the sky of January, in the cemetery of the Chapel of\u003cbr\u003eBraque.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145390342384,"sku":"2940012564917","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012564917_p0.jpg?v=1763570307","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012564917","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
