Who entertained the queen in the middle ages?

Answer 1

AnswerThe court Jester. AnswerThe jesters were important entertainment, but not the only entertainment.

In court, there were itinerant musicians, bards, poets, and story tellers. And these ere all found in inns in towns and cities.

There were morality plays and other religious plays, and as the Middle Ages developed, these became more secular, producing plays called manners plays, though the term simply meant secular.

There were Archery matches, and these were particularly important in England, were every serf was required to own a bow and keep in practice. This was what won some of the great battles of the Hundred Years' War, but was also a fact that occasionally made the serfs rather too important for the king.

The nobility entertained themselves with hunting and other sports.

Jousting is well remembered, though possibly too much remembered.

Some kings had libraries and liked to read, but there is probably more record of queens enjoying literature than of kings - quite a few queens did.

A king who wanted to could be quite jolly, as long as his neighbors didn't take advantage of his indolence.
