Middle Ages

Part of storyApril Fools' DayView in story ›

Time: 2nd Millenium

Place: Europe

Details: Some writers suggest that April Fools' originated because in the Middle Ages, New Year's Day was celebrated on March 25 in most European towns, with a holiday that in some areas of France, specifically, ended on April 1, and those who celebrated New Year's Eve on January 1 made fun of those who celebrated on other dates by the invention of April Fools' Day.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
