Ep 127 - Courtly Entertainers
🕑 Added 2023-08-11 13:55:22 +0000 UTCpatrons, here is your ad-free version of this week's regular episode. we answer a question from Buddy Dude and took the episode topic from a suggestion by Arky. there will be no bonus episode this week but the next installment of our series on Dante's Inferno will be out next Friday.
in this episode, we discuss the entertainment that you would see at a Medieval court: troubadours, dancers, jugglers, and, of course, jesters. we take a look at these professions, what their performances were like, how and why they were hired, and more. then we talk about the unique position held by medieval jesters and how it was a real thing and not just something fake you'd see in a fantasy novel. enjoy!
