A "Court Fool," also known as a jester or clown, was a performer in royal courts during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Their role was to entertain nobility through humor, music, and acrobatics. Unlike other entertainers, court fools had the unique privilege of speaking freely, often using satire to comment on court politics and society without facing severe repercussions. Court fools often wore distinctive costumes, including colorful clothing and bells, to enhance their comedic presence. They were skilled in various forms of entertainment, including storytelling and improvisation. Famous examples of court fools include Feste from Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night" and Grimaldi, a renowned English clown.
