- Explore the history of court jesters, from 7th century China to medieval Europe, and how they were able to speak truth to power.
--
Contrary to common belief, jesters weren’t just a medieval European phenomenon but flourished in other times and cultures. The first reliably recorded jester is thought to be You Shi, of 7th century BCE China. Jesters had unique relationships to power: they could be viewed as objects of mockery or as entertainers and trusted companions. Beatrice K. Otto digs into history's most infamous jokers.

That “is there a famine?” “Yes I see your majesty is only eating 5 times a day” joke is great
Not funny because a food shortage doesn't need to affect him. Also if he ate less it wouldn't affect the food shortage.

@@corneliaaurelli1603 a joke must make sense. You all don't get it.
It fascinates me how a significant part of history can be described by saying, "The Monarch is very sensitive, so we hired this funny man to give him all bad news and criticism"
The United States harasses victims of deviant sadistic maltreatment by military Child SA’ers who are misusing advanced technology they have access to.
They are using technology that is meant to keep Americans safe to secretly watch children, show them deviant content through hacking their devices, and touch them inappropriately or give them incapacitating substances. Victims of this crime are R’d, and tortured and then as they get older are then stalked and harassed both on and offline by creeps that are helping their friends get away with their crimes.
They sabotage the lives of their victims to make them as hellish as possible.
This goes on for years, and it seems to last their entire lives.
Some victims may not even know they’re victims because much of the R happens when they are slipped something or asleep. The only reason you may know is because they may leave behind physical evidence like bodily fluids, bruises, or scratches.
The men who do this think that they can shame their victims into silence because some of the actions are coerced. They think that the more depraved they can be with innocent children the more likely they will be too ashamed to speak out. At least some men with access to this technology are using to hurt and R children. The victims are left with little recourse because they likely won’t know who R’d them. They try to invade every part of their victims' lives to try to shame and mock them into silence.
Honestly though, that’s kinda like best friends talking(not the best comparison, but it’s the best one I could come up with)
@mahapatrasohamm honestly, i can't think of a better modern-day comparison other than "dennis rodman and kim jong un"
not alot has changed huh, other than the hiring part
If 99% of jester's jokes are not in the expense of emperors, then this video would be pretty misleading. Focusing on an unrepresentative aspect of a subject, is a misleading way to teach the subject.
I like Triboulet, a French jester who apparently crossed the line with one of his jokes and was sentenced to death by François 1st.
He asked him how he wanted to die and triboulet answered "of old age"
And François 1st spared his life
lmao
💀
😭😭😭
lol bro
It's even more committed to it, he wasn't allowed to joke on the royal family but he made a joke about the king, the king got upset and said he would pardon if he come up with a witty joke. Then the jester proceed to make a joke about the queen.
after the old age death line he was spared but still got banished
Honestly its a travesty that modern day politicians dont have jesters, it would probably help a lot
They already make fools of themselves enough not to need any.
I guess we have late night comedians for that.
Petition to bring jesters back into politics.
white house correspondents dinner
I think that's what we have late night show hosts for 🤔
It's nice to know that the "No offense, it's just a joke" bs has a noble history.
To be fair jesters often insulted their tyrannical, self important bosses, so I'd say it's more a case of "Screw the 1%"
I mean to be fair they are not only asking for it but paying for it
@@trappedcosmos The taxpayers are paying for it.
@@Sonny_McMacssonWell, no. These weren't democratic governments claiming to represent the people. These were aristocratic lords, demanding payment, labour and military service for the "service" of "protecting" and "leading" their subjects. The money wasn't a tax as we currently understand it, but legal payment for their role within the systems of manorialism and vassalage. In other words, it was very much their money.

Keep in mind that for his annual jump-whistle-fart routine, Roland the Farter was granted 30 acres of land in Suffolk by King Henry II. Moral of the story: sometimes, flatulence pays
jump, whistle, fart are so funny
No one has good taste now 😅
I wonder if he accidently pooped (cause his x zone must be flexible), he would get bonus by the king
@@marcobuncit7539 well then he'd be called "roland the sharter"

😂 I almost died
Its very intresting the history of Jester. I heard stories of people asking for the Jester to give the bad news to king, because, the knew he could escape the punishment.
Henry 8's jester specially about 5th wife
Cuz jester usually sandwiched a criticism in warmth tone for the ruler to chew.....like you put bitter pill into pet food for a dog to eat
Jester: *takes his mockery too far*
King: I’ll give you a choice how do you die?
Jester: how about with old age?
King: done
King: *sends the jester to the beach that makes you old*
King: Sure. From now on, I shall call my pet crocodile Old Age.
I would laugh at this joke
It’s cool seeing how jesters existed throughout multiple cultures throughout centuries
Its honestly more interesting that despite being in different worlds and lack of globalisation. Most cultures worked quite similarly

@@singaporeseaslugs1393 times change, people don't
I'm shocked you haven't mentionned that Jesters often were advisors to the rulers. Like famous polish Jester Stańczyk, who also acted as advisor to Polish king Sigismund I.
They briefly touched on it when mentioning on Jesters are both ridiculed, praised, and looked for advice.
@@conejitorosada2326 Yes, but what they don't say, that jesters often acted as diplomats, and even spies!
Is that the same Jester in that famous painting called Stanczyk that people made memes of?
@@elisabethschmerzler963 The Very Same, although the painter, Jan Matejko lived 300 years after Stańczyk, so it's more of an idealized vision, rather than actual portrait. For example Stańczyk most propably never wore beard, or any facial hair at all. In 16th century jesters were clean shaved to clearly display grimaces and silly faces they made.
@@jarekwrzosek2048 Huh that’s pretty interesting. I learned more about the painting a couple days ago and it’s a really interesting piece that shows the weight and toll of a Jester in being the bearer of bad news. Definitely a new respect for both men and the piece
I appreciate the fact that some jesters didn't break character even when facing execution and occasionally it saved their lives.
William the Conqueror had a jester name Taillefer, who was a beast. He rode beside William during the Norman invasion of England, and would lift the troop's spirits by singing about heroic deeds. When they reached enemy lines at Hastings, he taunted the English by juggling his sword and was challenged by an English soldier, who he killed before charging the English lines alone, while singing and was said to have killed at least four more Englishmen before being cut down.
Damn
I remember there was a character in Warhammer Fantasy (Jules le Jongleur) who was exactly that: A jester accompanying his lord to battle while singing heroic deeds of previous heroes and insulting their enemies.
I wonder if the writers took inspiration of Taillefer. Not too far fetched since they were british.
reminds me a lot of the darkest dungeon jester
2:35 Jester: *Points out the flaw in the emperors anger*
Emperor: 🤭💅
10th century jesters criticizing the government success: HA!
Modern comedy criticizing the government success: *processing
The ability to laugh at oneself is so profound. One would assume that old royalty was ruthless and cruel, unquestionable - however the presence of jesters seem to indicate that they too had a good laugh. This is one of the few cultural characteristics found across the medieval period in human history. I recall watching an art form called 'Chakyarkoothu' from my state in India which was practiced by court and temple jesters. Truly an art!
A lot of this is propaganda. Monarchy throughout history has been nothing but cruel and even their jesters participated in their madness. Leadership must be constantly challenged and kept in check by the outside. There were jesters who were executioners, some even killed for the king for said king's entertainment. The reason so many positive cases are brought up is because historical societies in America are funded by the American government. Go to europe and learn true history. It is not ever clean. Much of it covered up at the time it was written only to be uncovered through thorough investigation later.

Maybe its something that strengthens the goverment.
A monarch its usually detached from the population and surrounded with yesmen, having someone whose job its to question and mock the king it would be something that would make the king make better decisions.
Maybe that's why its present in many cultures because it works
One can argue that jesters who didn't learn how to balance being funny and being offensive plus giving some genuine good advice had no future
Jesters are like your homies that roast you but still give honest and sincere advice (most of the time).
That is pretty much accurate

In germany there is the term "Narrenfreiheit" which explicibly invokes the right of jesters to say anything without repurcussions.
Indeed in castle Eltz several families shared the seat. If there was some interfamiliar conflict the issue would be discussed in a special room with painted jester faces above each chair. Showing that within this room everyone was allowed to say anything

I think it shows that Jesters were friends of rulers. That’s what allowed them to impact ruler’s decisions like anybody that ruler is fond of could. Jesters just had a fun and peculiar way of giving advice/making an impact
"what is your relation to cuckolds?"
"I am their pillow"

During the reign of Rajadi Rajasinha, Sri Lanka had a jester called Andare. Andare is still popular among many Sri Lankans to date and there are so many folklores about him. As you said, yes, jesters are too dangerous because they have enormous power to leverage on the monarch.
Yes. The relationship between politics, comedy and jesters is age old. That's why Victor Hugo's novel 'The Man Who Laughs' is so powerful because Hugo used this very concept to criticise the dukes of Paris. The Man who Laughs is also prime inspiration for 'Joker' from Batman comics, whose various interpretations have portrayed him as a critic of the modern society or the "established order". And this is also a reason why a lot of contemporary comedy is so critical of the political scenario. Because if you are gonna tell people that they are getting screwed over, you might as well make them laugh while you're at it.

It’s fascinating that as long as they said it in a funny way, a jester could say pretty whatever they wanted. Jesters are often viewed as lower court members, who only exists to be laughed at. But they were one of the most powerful court members, due to the ability to say damn near anything. If I could go back in time I’d be a jester in a heartbeat

The best explanation. I have heard is that they are the canaries in the coal mine.
If the king is a tyrant, they’d punish the jester harshly. If they’re average, it gets laughed off.
Jesters remind me of myself. A master of causing havoc here and there without thinking too much about it.

I'm planning to make Jester a small custome with a coat, and a mask. With a royal blue indigo and golden colors with some maroon colored details inspired mainly by old Jesters clothes, but extra fancy

there are also similar figures in India, Tenali Rama in the Vijayanagara court, Birbal in Akbar's court and Gopal Bhar in the Krishnanagar court of West Bengal.
So basically Stand Up Comedians and Late Night Talk Show hosts are modern jesters
I hate to be another stereotypical guy but I kind of want to watch more videos on medieval society. When you think about it, it’s a really downplayed time in history. I really don’t remember too much education in high school, or any interestingly-put content at least. Like I got here asking, “What did a jester do?” Now I’m wanting to ask, “Was a royal servant similar to a government service worker in contemporary US society”. Think I’ll keep watching.
What wouldn’t I give to witness the glorious whistling jumpfart routine
So I guess the Jester has enough influence to be in a deck of cards, but apparently not enough to be a chess piece. Then again, the same could be said about the bishop and knight not being in the deck of cards so go figure.
for the knight - it depends on the deck
The Joker card was not added to the deck until the 19th century, but some medieval decks of cards have illustrations of a jester on their Jack cards. Also, in French chess sets, the bishop piece represents a jester. And knights are included in Tarot decks.
@@Blokewood3 Good to know
some of those jester jokes were genuine kneeslappers ngl i giggled a lot
Did any one get the will smith and Chris brown reference
So what you're saying is the snarky, goofball sidekick lancer has been a thing irl this whole time? That's awesome.
Humor breeds power
