Masquerades were a way for the Nobility and the King, Queen or both to have fun and push aside protocol and class distinction in the court. It was a way that the King could flirt with someone or a titled noble could flirt without the worry of a scandal breaking out of an assumed or imagined affair that would become the next gossip subject in court. All in all, it was a way to have fun and break free from class restraints.

Masquerade balls have a long history dating back to the 15th century in Europe. They were originally held as elaborate social events where guests wore masks to conceal their identities and social status, allowing for more freedom and anonymity. Over time, masquerade balls evolved to include intricate costumes, music, and dancing. Today, masquerade balls are still held for entertainment and socializing, often with a theme or specific dress code.
