Synonym of Master of the revels
Master of the Revels
Master of the Revels was an office within the British royal household that originally had minor responsibilities for overseeing royal festivities. Over time, however, the office grew in power to become responsible for stage censorship. The history of the Revels Office has an interesting place in that of the English stage. Among the expenses of the royal Wardrobe we find provision made for tunicae and viseres (shirts and hats) in 1347 for the Christmas ludi (plays) of Edward III; during the reign of King Henry VII, payments are also recorded for various forms of court revels; and it became regular, apparently, to appoint a special functionary, called Master of the Revels, to superintend the royal festivities, quite distinct from the Lord of Misrule.
