Talk:Medieval pageant

[Untitled]
Pageant has a disctinctly diiferent connotation from procession and should be given this page. Beauty pageant very seldom appears without the "beauty" part, and the magazine is of even lesser significance than either of these more universal terms.


 * Agreed. You can move this page to Pageant (disambiguation) and start the article here. Rigadoun 15:13, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Literature
This pages needs some discussion of pageant in literature, such as Spenser's Faerie Queene. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.163.0.42 (talk) 22:19, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Etymology
The word pageant, in an early sense found in Middle English, meant the mobile stage or scene upon which plays were presented in the Medieval period (apparently from one of the Medieval Latin meanings of pagina). Nuttyskin (talk) 20:36, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
