From 1294 to the time of the French Revolution in 1789, the
people of France were expected to strictly follow the sumptuary
laws. These rules tried to regulate the lifestyles of the lower
classes by regulating the amount and type of clothes they
bought. The laws tried to control:
→ the behaviour of those considered socially inferior
→ preventing them from wearing certain clothes→ consuming certain foods and beverages
→ hunting game in certain areas.
