The Masque of Indian and China Knights


The Masque of Indian and China Knights was performed at Hampton Court in Richmond, England on 1 January 1604.[1] The masque was not published, and no text survives. It was described in a letter written by Dudley Carleton.[2] The historian Leeds Barroll prefers the title, Masque of the Orient Knights.[3]
