What Life Was Really Like As A Medieval Jester
Рет қаралды 1,965,776
Күн бұрынJesters, also known as court jesters or fools, are a big part of the history of the Middle Ages - but what was the role of a court jester and what was life like for him? It wasn't all fun and games; sure, the jester played a large role in medieval entertainment, but he also played the part of a trusted advisor, took part in household chores, and even followed his master into battle. He was also the unfortunate soul that was tasked with delivering bad news to his noble ruler.

There's something heartwarming about the relationship between kings and jesters. For example Will Sommers and Henry VIII (aka the guy who had two of his wives beheaded). Henry VIII was in a lot of pain and deeply depressed in his later life, and Will was the only one who could cheer him up, aswell as call him out if he was being too extravagant. (There was one time he almost got executed for being too spicy but it turend out alright) He is even seen in family portraits of Henry VIII. After his death, he continued to work for Henry's daughter and heir, Mary, and was one of the only people who could make her laugh The fact that the jester was the only person who could be honest with the king and make him forget his duties really made them something special it seems

There is this story of a Polish court jester who was very wise. When news came that a city was occupied by the Russians, the jester was the only one who took it seriously while everyone else at the king's court partied. The painting of a court jester dressed in a red outfit and sitting on a chair looking sad/anxious that appeared in the video is a reference to that story.

My great uncle was a jester for the current queen of England during the 60s. The job required a college education and a clean background. He would wear suits. The job was nothing like you would think. He had a staff that worked for him and he would put on elaborate shows. Blew my mind that there are actually modern jesters on staff in the UK.

Absolute bs. I've just googled it and the last jester was either in the 1600s or 1700s according to two different sources. I think the last jester to the monarch was in the 1600s and the Earl of Suffolk had a jester named Dicky Pearce who died in the 1700s. Queen Elizabeth 2 did not have a jester. She was made queen in 1952, she had radio, television, magazines, all sorts to keep her entertained. She didn't need a jester. It's a massively outdated concept and there's absolutely no sources that say there was jesters in the 60s. If your great uncle did work for the Queen in the 60s, his job definitely wasn't a jester, maybe a confidant of some sort? I don't know, but I definitely know he wasn't a jester. She didn't have one, and neither did anyone else for centuries before her. You're either lying, you've been lied to, or you're just getting your details wrong. I do agree with the person who said "a college education" isn't a very British thing to say. College to us is nothing fancy. Anyone working for the royals most likely went to a prestigious university. You might be American though and that's what you meant by college education. I'm still calling bullshit for now though. What was his name so I can look him up? I'm willing to have my mind changed and admit I'm wrong if I am.

Finally, someone thrust the court jester forward and he said, “Oh, the cowardly English, the cowardly English!” and on being asked why, replied, “They did not jump overboard like our brave Frenchmen.”

Many of the "midget" jesters (dwarf jesters were highly sought after) would often be rigged so they could pour champagne in a "nebuchanezzer" size bottle (rigged to their back) so when they bowed it filled the goblet. Many became very skilled and learned to be professional at pompous elite gatherings. The best of them learned to stay in character and earned great respect. They were often taunted and humiliated to get them to break. Much like the people who to this day try to make the royal guards to break at Buckingham palace. Just a little FYI. I truly enjoy your content. Thanks again!

2:18 even then they had to show some restraint. Threats of killing the king landed jesters in hot water, and the king then had every right to inquire or punish the jester for the threat, one famous case is a King who, felt merciful, and gave the Jester an addendum: He could be executed any way he desired. When the jester was asked how he wished to go out, he said of old age. The king, a man of his word, let him live out the rest of his life in exile. The jester got to live a full life and died of old age.

Powerful celebrities (and other people, but celebrities make a show of it in public more often) allow themselves to be roasted all the time in order to demonstrate that they can take a joke and don't put themselves above those in a position to offer criticism (fair or unfair). Whatever philosophy led to the special privileges of Jesters in the middle ages is probably an extension of something Greco-Roman (like when a general has a slave whispering reminders of his mortality during a Triumph), and is alive and well today in fields where the powerful need to be reminded once in awhile that "things could be different, so don't get too cocky". Someone could probably write a good book exploring that family of concepts through time.

Greetings from Switzerland Never heard of Jenny von Stockach. Leopold III, Duke of Austria, called "the just", had a jester who accompanied him to the battlefield in Sempach in 1386 (today switzerland, but at that point in history switzerland did not exist, there was only a loose alliance of city-states, called the "Eidgenossenschaft"). This jester was called "Heini von Uri", came from the city-state of Uri and was definitely a man. Today his story is, more or less, a legend. They say, he was captured by soldiers of the "Eidgenossenschaft" before the battle, but released, because he was just a "fool" (as in foolish person, not the profession). He returned to Leopold and warned him about the size of the other army. Leopold did not listen and lost battle, army and his own life. The said quote of "debating how the get in but nobody thinks of how to get out" is a legend about another jester called Kuony von Stocken (also a man), who said this to another austrian duke, Leopold I. And this was before the battle of Morgarten in 1315, another very important battle in our history with Austria. This Leopold lost battle and army and just barely saved his life. Don't know if someone cares about this, but I did. :D

Thanks for a great video! The visuals were really good and I loved the little bubble comments. It was interesting, narration fantastic, and the information was surprising at times. Loved where we got the word "fart" Go figure! Can you imagine your last name becoming the well- known description for flatulence for hundreds of years?

There is a still famous (in stories) king's court poet of old Sri Lanka called Andare, who is famous for his practical jokes. He once dropped a stone down the nearby well and when his wife came running out thinking he jumped into the well, he went inside and locked the door. One time the king asked his help for getting up a hill because he was tired, so he went ahead of him and kept insulting the king and calling him fat, and the king chased him up the hill because he is angry. One time while on the boat the king had the soldiers tie the poet up and pushed him into the river, and while sinking each time he rose he said a line of a song. When he died in one story he stiffened up with arms and legs at star posture, so they had to make a special coffin for him, and it's said to have been the last time he made the king laugh.
