Today, we bring you to one of the worst parties of all time. It's 1393, and The Mad French King, Charles VI - was mock-celebrating the third marriage of his wife's lady-in-waiting (I know that's confusing, hang on), and the celebration turned into a horror show when The Duke of Orleans brought a torch a tad too close to the King and his buddies dressed like wild men of the woods.
Someone invite us to a masquerade please!
