The evolution of a card game: Suits
In the second half of the 14th Century merchants introduced what was then commonly called "Saracen cards' known in medieval Europe. Those of the urban middle – who had the bubonic plague in the cities, where they moved for a new class of merchants and craftsmen Pest survives. Once the poverty and prejudices of the dark era loosened trade guilds, and universities began to revive and new scientific perspectives were discovered along with the time for leisure, play and pleasure.
During the early Renaissance, books, maps, and paintings were made by hand. A community of appreciators of art and science formed and became the primary factor in the spread of playing cards in Italy. By the end – many century illustrated manual card Manuscripts had been published in a number of major cities in several countries, including Viterbo near Rome in Italy, in Paris, and Barcelona. Thanks traveling artists and scholars, the game's popularity grew steadily: In the early 15th Century, a single craftsman enough to meet the requirements of a city map, but by the middle of the Century there were several shops in need of full-time.
Because this was a somewhat strange form of entertainment, not everyone embraced her. Some suggested that it threatened the fabric society manners and morals. They saw it as a game, where players and bettors were in league with the devil. During the Protestant Reformation were maps quite dramatically as "Devil's pictures."
Despite or because of this that survived popularity of cards. Even Mary, Queen of Scots was a great player and enjoyed the game, shocking, even on Sunday. The Compleat Gamester was in the late 17th century was published in London over details of more than a dozen games, and their basic strategies. Special equipment – Casini – were in Venice for aristocrats and courtesans established specifically for card games. For these Venice Casini, a game called primero found its way across Europe and was converted in poker some time later.
Over time, both women and men, farmers, retailers, and courtesans and nobles were able to enter the games and the symbols are represented in the cards. A Swedish cover, which was very much the rage was such suits in order of ranking from: sun, king, queen, knight, lady, servant and maid. This hearty Florentine played with cards, ready to buy the naked women and dancers, with dancers is the small suit.
There was no standard number of cards in a deck or designs at this time. The number of cards may vary 36-40 to 52. The suits at that time were symbolic of wealth, good food, military defense and sports popular with the court. These were coins, cups, swords and clubs. Signs we were familiar in use in France in the 15th Century: in red, Couers (Hearts) stood for the Church, carreaux (a rectangular panel) represent the merchants in black, there was awaken (spear and arrowheads) represents state power and Trèfles (clover leaf clover) as a sign of the farmers. Some brave soul at a point on the way ditched the vice-king of queens.
After a while, took the cards we know today to form. 52 cards with a series with 4 different suits. The suits are Spades, Diamonds, Hearts, Clubs and the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and counting to ten and counted the rest of the cards, 2 to 10 at their face value.
