Part 2 of the history of royal tennis, today known as real tennis.
As game courts increased in number, so too did the punishments meted out to those, who attempted to sell dirty balls. By the 15th century, the game had become The Sport of (warrior) Kings. But just as kings played the game, the game could still be the death of kings, leading to sovereigns dying in squalor in France or trapped in tunnels in Scotland.
