The Morris dance, as practised in England in the sixteenth century, is identical with the moresque or morexe of France of the fifteenth century, when men dressed in furs and masks performed warlike dances. The name shows conclusively that the game was sup- posed to be of Arabic origin. Now, we have an account 1 Contributions, vol. I, p. 205 f.
GLAESUM 329 of the Arabic practice of going to combat in masks in the Pseudo-Turpin. We are told there (cap. XVIII) how Charlemagne's cavalry was met by ...the enemy's infantry, which advanced "having very much bearded, horned masks, just like demons, and holding in their hands tympanums which they beat mightily. " The horses became so frightened that they could not be restrained, and only after they were blindfolded could they be induced to go forward.
When we next hear of the Arab battle mummery, we hear of it as a Gothic game. Constantinus Porphyro- genitus^ tells how the Gothic game is played at the court during the Christmas holidays. The Master of the Venetian faction stands to the left of the hall, surround- ed by musicians.
