the feasts during this time period were full of entertainment. dancers, music, jugglers, etc. the pipers here are believed to be bagpipers. professional bagpipers were hired to preform during celebrations for music during dinner and for dancing later.
we associate the bagpipes with scottland, but they are also a common instrument in france too. during this time bagpipe music was popular music for dancing.
