This
is a picture of a jester, a jester is a professional clown hired to entertain
his owner (king or queen) in the Middle Ages. They were also referred to as a fool;
they were the only people who could make fun of the king without getting in
trouble or having their life taken. The jesters in the Middle Ages are now
known as circus clowns. The Royal
families in some of Shakespeare’s book had jesters to entertain them.
