| Abstract | These papers deal with controlling and ordering public pleasure. Legal, moral, and religious authorities gave certain frames for public amusements in order to maintain law and order, to tell every person how to behave and which consequences can be expected if anybody would not follow the offical orders. Historiograph works tell us how citizens, knights and nobels dealt with those rules and which special regional orders could be found, which groups of persons had to obbey special orders, for instance women and children. One question is if those rules would have been a reduction of common pleasure or a garantee that a public entertainment would not have a chaotic end. |
