There are a lot of various things without which we cannot imagine our lives but which were not invented in the Middle Ages. There are so many different aspects which differ these two periods. One of the most important is entertainment. As you already probably know Middle Ages is a period of severe life for the people. Peasants had to work all the time and there were almost no entertainments. There was almost no relaxation for the simple people. What is more, it was a period of constant wars and hardships. Death was nothing in that severe time. However, in spite of the time that people were working or fighting all the time, there were few who developed entertaining arts. Neither poor nor rich refused from entertainment. They liked having fun even despite the fact that the time was severe and the church was against it.

Different types of the people had different entertainments. Some of them though that it would be great to have fun in the courtyard. There were dances and musicians who played different types of music. The there simple people were allowed to watch at the entertainment of the riches. It was extremely great and helped people to get acquainted and to relax. Also there were organized different types of competitions. People like to have fun. What is more, it is necessary to release the energy. That is why, sports competition was the best answer to the demand of the time. Apart from that it was common to listen to the story teller or a singer when eating or after the supper. Alcohol was inevitable part of such small celebrations. When celebrating weddings and any other holydays they gathered a lot of people and everyone was eating, drinking and dancing.

For the poor people entertainment was a little bit different. They mostly watched the way the riches have fun. However, they also have their own ways of entertainment.
