How many royal courts were mobile? The Catholic Monarchs kept moving their court around to keep the feudal lords happy, but I wonder how they managed to do that.

It tended to die down as states got more centralized, because moving an entire treasury and a bunch of records around is a pain in the ass.

Part of the reason they travelled was because it was more luxurious that way. They would go to one place, the local lord will have lots of entertainment prepared, they would hunt all the game, eat everywhere, shit everywhere then move on to the next party house.

They stopped after the black death tho.

Seems like a serious safety issue too. I wouldn't want to be attacked by brigands on the way to my vacation castle.

brigands were groups of 10-15 men at most, kings and queens travelled in groups of 10-20 times that...

>actually having to move your court around because you're so de-centralized and have no real administrative framework

God-damn, how can Frankish boys even compete?

It was easier than staying in a single place. In early Anglo-Saxon England for example they _had_ to move around because staying in the same place too long would exhaust the local food supply.
