Jester

Jester

A Jester or fool was historically an entertainer during the medieval and Renaissance eras who was a member of the household of a nobleman or a monarch employed to entertain guests, their master, and themselves. They were also itinerant performers who entertained common folk at fairs and town markets. Jesters are also modern-day entertainers who resemble their historical counterparts.

History

Jesters were popular in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. They were employed by a nobleman or monarch to entertain guests and themselves. They were also itinerant performers who entertained common folk at fairs and town markets. Jesters could also be traveling entertainers and were hired to provide entertainment during a feast or festival.

Role

Jesters served not only to entertain but also to criticize their master or mistress and their guests. Queen Elizabeth I is said to have rebuked one of her jesters for a lack of subtlety. Jesters often used their skills in acrobatics, storytelling, juggling, music, and other forms of entertainment.

Modern jesters

In modern times, jesters are often entertainers who perform at mainly medieval themed events. Many are also street performers who entertain in city streets or parks.
