The laws tried to control the behaviour of social inferiors, preventing them from wearing certain clothes, consuming certain foods and beverages and hunting game in certain areas.
(b) In medieval France, the items of clothing a person could purchase per year was
regulated, by his income as well as by social rank. For example’ only royalty could wear expensive materials like ermine and fur, or silk, velvet and brocade’ other classes were debarred from clothing themselves with materials that were associated with the aristocracy’ Thus, in short sumptuary laws were used to maintain social hierarchy.
(c) The ladies wore the sumptuous clothing, the elaborate headgear, and the lace edgings on the dress. They also had a corset inside the dress, which was meant to confine and shape their waist. The noblemen wore a long soldier’s coat, knee breeches, silk stockings and high heeled shoes. Both had elaborate wigs and, had their faces painted a delicate shade of pink, for the display of natural skin was considered unnatural

(a) causes: The government wanted to preserve forests for timber production. So there was need to restrict the felling of trees and grazing.
(b) Effects on the lives of pastoralists: (l) These acts divided forest into three categories: reserved, protected and village forests. The best forests were the ‘reserved forests’ Villagers could not take anything from these forests, even for their own use. No pastoralist was allowed access to these forests.
(ii) In the protected forests, some customary grazing rights of pastoralists were granted but their movements were severely restricted.
(iii) These Forest Acts changed the lives of pastoralists:
1. They were prevented from entering many forests. Their movements Were regulated.
2. They needed a permit for entry. The permit specified the periods in which they could be legally within a forest. If they overstayed they were liable to fines.
3. As there was shortage of grazing lands a large number of animals died.
4. It also affected the health of the animals.
5. Pastoralists were compelled to change their places and occupations.
