Court Culture

Court culture refers to the social customs, etiquette, and behaviors that develop among members of a royal or noble court. It includes art, fashion, language, ceremonies, and interpersonal relations that reflect status, power, and identity within the court society. This culture influences how courtiers interact, present themselves, and participate in court life, often serving to reinforce hierarchy and political messages. Understanding court culture helps us see how rulers maintained authority and shaped cultural norms during their reigns.
