Summary "Curialia Miscellanea, or Anecdotes of Old Times" by Samuel Pegge is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work explores regal, noble, and gentilitial anecdotes, focusing on authentic tales related to the royal household and the customs of the English court during an earlier period of history. This text serves as a collection of historical anecdotes rather than a continuous narrative, highlighting the rich traditions and behaviors that characterized the English monarchy and its court. The opening of the book introduces the author's background and intentions, revealing that Pegge was compelled by a natural curiosity to investigate the ancient state of the English court, contributing to the broader understanding of its history. It further explains that his collections were partially published during his lifetime and arranged posthumously by an editor who sought to honor Pegge's scholarly efforts. The beginning sets the stage for a journey through various facets of history, including the structure of the royal household, significant events, and personalities that shaped English nobility.
