            Musicians,acrobats and actors.
Twisted minds in a distorted; so were  'the infamous', the acrobats, (Joculatores') called. Also, musicians, singers and actors belonged to that. People without rank, status and permanent residence. They went around, gave performances at fairs and festivals to great entertainment. They were admired for their skill and daring, obscene jokes but kept outside the community.

Medieval Musicians History
The period of the Middle Ages saw a huge growth in the number of Medieval Musicians who were employed both in the great courts of the era and also in the towns throughout the lands. The Medieval Musicians included Troubadours, Minstrels, Trouveres, Jongleurs and the Waits. There were a huge number of musical instruments available during this era and the tastes, culture and societies in the realms of the people of Europe were becoming less warlike and more refined. The times also saw society changing due to the influence from various foreign cultures. Travel experiences of the Medieval men and women, prompted by the Crusades, led to a new and unprecedented interest in beautiful objects, elegant manners, poetry and music. It was acceptable for both men and women to become skilled as musicians. The ideals of courtly love were introduced and embellished by the Troubadours, Trouveres and Minstrels further influencing the Medieval musicians.
