The jongleurs, minstrals, troubadours, and minnesingers were bards and musicians who traveled about Europe, singing, playing instruments, telling stories, and reciting poems wherever they could find a paying audience. The better ones stayed at the courts of kings and the manors of lords. Others played at inns, at fairs and at crossroads to get food, shelter, or whatever else they could as pay from the local population.
Depending on the region, they played harps, lutes, flutes, Bagpipes, pipes, and drums. They played all sorts of music.
They were useful to important people as conveyors of information, sources of news, and even as spies. They were regarded as freemen, though clearly some, possibly many, were runaways or criminals.
