The History of Billiards

Several historical materials show billiards was born in U.K. and France in the 14th c, however many countries assert their cradle of billiards. It is said that Cleopatra played an indoor game similar to billiards, and LouisXIV began to play for his health at the recommendation of doctors. Many historical characters are known as a hustler, and billiards seems to have come into vogue in the nobility in the middle ages anyway.
