A jester was historically a medieval to Renaissance era entertainer who entered the house of a nobleman or monarch and was employed to entertain guests. They were also traveling entertainers who entertained ordinary people at festivals and towns. It is thought that jesters wore brightly colored clothes and eccentric hats in a mottled pattern. The jester's other characteristics were their way of laughing and their mock scepter.
