A bard was an interesting type. He was the newspaper, gossip monger, and storyteller of his time. Never very wealthy and often made fun of by others. The biggest advantage was in a world of stagnant classes he was fairly free to move around. Stories like Robin Hood come from men who were bards. Most people were glad to see one, gave them a bit of food, some straw to sleep on for a story.
