jongleur

There has come a travelling jongleur from Auvergne, who tells a wonderful tale of your deed at Valmont.

So the angels gave the lad white wings like their own, and a great viol like a jongleur's.

But how is this to be done, and which of my little court dare attempt this tour de jongleur with any chance of success?

In French he was called jongleur or jugleur, menestrel or menestrier.
