Fireworks were developed in China at the same time Europe was going through the Middle Ages, and were used there to entertain and awe the population. They may have been used in Europe during the Late Middle Ages, especially since guns and cannons were introduced during this time. There are no doubt references about this, but I have not seen them. I would assume they were not in very widespread and common use.
