12th Century feast entertainment

accounts from 12th Century novels

Account of dinner (not necessarily a full feast) after a hunt, from Guingamor (line 140-144, trans Weingartner)

After eating they played and laughed;
They took turns telling their adventures;
Each told what he had done,
Who had missed, and who had shot well;
