The masque, performed by Grays Inne and Inner Temple, celebrated the marriage of Princess Elizabeth to Frederick, Elector Palatine in 1613. It is thought that the music was part of the anti-masque to provide light entertainment before the more formal activities of the masque itself. (Graham Christian, 2015). At some point, it is thought that a dancing master choreographed this elegant country dance to be danced to the tune. no music
