Fouilloux’s La Venerie, aka Hunting, differs from Gaston’s 1389 description (See Le livre de chasse). Accordingly, the assemblée is replaced with un repas chasse, a hunters’ lunch attended only by men. However, when George Gascoigne adapted La Venerie for his The Noble Arte of Venerie or Hunting (1575), he included Elizabeth I, an avid hunter, among those dining at the luncheon.
