About Court
Fool . Info
In the Middle Ages the court fool played an important role.
He amused kings, ministers and households with his antics,
jokes and sharp remarks. Most of the times he was well
informed about all discussed items. Due to his role as a
fool he could allow himself to speak out truths, that others
did not see or did not dare to mention. And not unfrequently
his words touched the hearth of the matters. His say often
gave a new orientation to discussions.
