A court jester was a historical entertainer in royal courts, known for their humor, wit, and ability to provide amusement. They often wore colorful costumes and distinctive hats, which included bells. Jesters used satire and clever wordplay to entertain nobles while also offering social commentary, sometimes addressing sensitive topics that others could not. In addition to humor, court jesters were skilled in various forms of entertainment, such as juggling, acrobatics, and music. They played a unique role in the royal household, serving as both a source of entertainment and a trusted advisor, often providing insights that could influence the court's decisions.
