Jester |
Mirvish, E., Vol II, P 379 |
The Jester was originally an itinerant performer who entertained common folk at fairs and markets. They were also sometimes employed as Court Jesters, to entertain royalty or high-ranking noblemen. They typically wore brightly-coloured clothes and eccentric hats. The jester in heraldry refers usually to comedy or to drama in general. |
