A prince's jester, also known as a court jester or fool, was a performer in royal courts during the medieval and Renaissance periods, tasked with entertaining the nobility through humor, music, and wit. Unlike typical entertainers, jesters often had the unique privilege of speaking truth to power, using satire and comedy to comment on court affairs and social issues. They wore distinctive costumes, often featuring colorful patterns and bells, and their role was both to amuse and to provide insight, sometimes even serving as advisors in disguise.
A jester would entertain the king, queen, and the prince or princess. If the jester entertains the royal family, the king would reward him in riches. If not, the king would have him executed... or killed in any form.
A court jester was an individual in the medieval period who would be part of the King's court and would say or do comical things to elicit laughter. Often, a jester would wear a particular uniform that was very silly for added effect.
A medieval jester lived during the Middle Ages, from about A.D. 500 until about A.D. 1500. The jester was the court's professional clown. That court could be the royal court of one of the European monarchs. Or it could be the noble court of one of the particular European country's leading influential, wealthy families.
