The Jongleur
The Jongleur, the Court Jester, the Fool...these are all names
of the same occupation.
The Jongleur was the main entertainment, usually during a large
banquet that could last for days.
Let's face it...you would get really bored after sitting at a
table for more than a few hours. So the Jongleurs would come and dance around,
juggle, and put on a show.
They would tell jokes, jump around, and would juggle many different
items, including balls, rings, clubs, and fire.
For our Medieval Fair, a few members of the Ed Tech Quest Team
learned how to juggle, and performed at the fair.
