The ancient Egyptian’s observed a raucous festival called the “Festival of Drunkenness” that took place at least once a year during the fifteenth century BC reign of Hatshepsut. The celebration was a religious inspiration about a bloodthirsty warrior goddess named Sekhmet, who almost destroyed mankind before drinking too much beer and passing out.
This festival played out a massive debauched party and to re-enact their salvation, the Egyptians would spend a wild evening with mug after mug of strong beer. The festivities ended the next morning, when thousands of dazed, hung-over revelers were awoken by the sound of drum players.
The French Queen, Isabeau of Bavaria hosted an exquisite banquet on 28 January, 1393 at Paris’s Hôtel Saint-Pol to celebrate the
marriage of one of her maids-in-waiting. The evening was suppose to be a dance involving King Charles VI and five other nobles but shortly after the king and his men began the dance, his brother, the Duke of Orleans arrived and drunkenly approached the dancers with a lit torch and accidentally ignited one of their costumes,
which set off a blaze that quickly spread through the group. King Charles escaped being injured after a quick-thinking aunt covered him with her skirt. Another saved himself by jumping into a tankard of wine but the four other dancers were engulfed in flames and died. King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France hosted a joint summit in 1520 in a valley near Calais and were
supposed to be nurturing friendly relations between their two nations but what happened instead was a competition in party form. For two and half weeks, the royals tried to outspend and upstage one another by hosting parties of drinking, jousting, feasting, and archery. The feasts had elaborate tents and pavilions, with meat from over four thousand lambs, calves, and oxen, and they built up fountains that spewed wine.
The summit came to an end when the two royals squared in a wrestling match but both parties still failed to initiate an era of good feelings and by 1521, England and France were once again on opposite sides of a war.
