In the Middle Ages, minstrels, jongleurs, troubadours, and minnesingers were all musicians. For the most part they travelled, so they did not use heavy instruments, such as organs. They used harps, lutes, lyres, fiddles (including bowed lyres), flutes, flageolets, pipes, bagpipes, drums, and so on.
Minstrels performed songs whose lyrics told stories about distant places. Many minstrels were also storytellers, jugglers, clowns, and tumblers! Some minstrels also said poems, danced, and even swallowed fire!

Jongleurs and troubadours were minstrels, who travelled around France in the Middle Ages, performing songs which they usually wrote themselves, accompanying themselves on the lute and other stringed instruments. If they lived in the 21st century, we'd call them singer-songwriters! In fact, their lyrics are some of the earliest examples of love poetry (in French, also in the Provencal language).

A minstrel was a medieval European bard who performed songs whose lyrics told stories about distant places or about real or imaginary historical events. Though minstrels created their own tales, often they would memorize and embellish the works of others. Frequently they were retained by royalty and high society. As the courts became more sophisticated, minstrels were eventually replaced at court by the troubadours, and many became wandering minstrels, performing in the streets and became well liked until the middle of the Renaissance, despite a decline beginning in the late 15th century. Minstrelsy fed into later traditions of traveling entertainers, which continued to be moderately strong into the early 20th century, and which has some continuity down to today's buskers or street musicians.
