To determine what actually constituted someone as being a jester, we must first acknowledge the fact that the term 'jester' applied to many entertainers. During the 11th and 12th centuries, the term 'minstrel,' which meant 'little servent,' commonly referred to musicians, singers, jugglers, magicians, and tumblers, according to HistoryExtra. This meant that the court jester could potentially take on any number of roles depending on what his or her talent was. These men and women were also referred to as a joculator or a joculatrix. Towards the end of the 12th century, the term 'fool' began floating about and eventually was used to refer to jesters who had earned their freedom and, with it, payment in the form of land. However, with this agreement and reward came certain terms, such as a fool needing to return to the court on a certain date every year to perform or another, similar condition.https://www.thetravel.com/what-is-a-jester-in-medieval-times/
