Sports to 1600 describes the period's events in world sport. The main sporting activity recorded in ancient times is the original Olympic Games held at Olympia in Greece. By 1300, rural folk in Great Britain have begun to play early versions of cricket, football and golf. Early in the 16th century, English public houses are showing interest in bowls and real tennis, as well as dice and cards, all of which the government tries to eliminate forcefully. Late in the 16th century, "licensing began to replace prohibition ... a public house might be licensed to allow men of substance to engage in dice, cards, tables, bowls, and tennis on condition that there was no blaspheming or swearing, and no play before noon on working days or during hours of religious worship on Sundays."〔Derek Birley, ''A Social History of Cricket'', London: Aurum Press, 1999, pages 4-5. Keepers of public houses did not show interest in cricket until the next century (see 1668).〕 ==Bandy== Events * c.901–c.1100 — games that are accepted as direct predecessors to bandy have been recorded in Russian monastery records dating back to this period. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sports to 1600」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
