Who supplied the entertainment to people?
Troubadours:
Troubadours were poet musicians, who did not write religious poems. They wrote songs about knights and women, most of them telling a story of love, heroes or courtesy. Their stories were so popular throughout the community, and often made the knights keen to potray the same amount of courtesy as the knights did in songs. Troubadours created their own songs, and travelled town to town performing them. They also played instuments to accompany their songs. None of the music that was performed by troubadours was written down and kept recorded, only religious music was saved.
Minstrels:
Minsterels were not as refined or poetic as the Troubadour. The role of a Minstrel often required many different skills including:
Juggling.
Acrobats.
Dancing.
Fire eating.
Conjuring. (Performing magic tricks)
Playing musical instruments.
Reciting poems.
Singing.
To train animals, such as dogs and monkeys, to include in their shows.
