Fo o l e
Of course with fooles and jesters being such a prominent form of entertainment in court, there had
to be at least one song about them. This is “Jenkin, the Jester” listed by an anonymous composer in
1609 in the one of the collections by well known English composer, Thomas Ravenskroft. It is technically
just out of our period, however the style of song, a catche, was one of the styles starting much earlier in
our period. This style is a form of round, but not exactly a round. Instead of the exact same melody being
sung by two, three or four parts, each part starting two—four beats later producing an echo like sound, a
catche instead are three to four different melodies started at different times, which musically produces
harmonies, but verbally can sound like several people having a conversation at once. The earliest form of
a catche known is Summer Is a Cumin In, a song we have sung numerous times in the Barony and SCA as
a whole. One can listen to “Jenkin” on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r8NZorUjSY.

Persona Portraits
T h o m a s
Name: Thomas Skelton
Awards: Last official jester at
Muncaster Castle; "creator" of
the phrase, "tom foolery."
Time Frame: 1460 - 1670 ??
Location: Muncaster Castle,
Ravenglass, England.
History: Because he was just a
hired servant, no detailed records were kept of him at the
castle in which he worked, so accounts of Thomas' life are at
best, sketchy. Originally believed
to be hired as a personal steward
and teacher to the real but young
Lord of Muncaster Castle, the
fourteen year old William Pennington, Thomas Skelton soon
made a name for himself not as
an entertainer but, if local legend
is believed, a dangerous practical
joker.
Legend one states, Skelton had a habit of sitting beneath
a chestnut tree (which still
stands on the castle grounds today), where he would chat with
and offer directions to travelers
and passers-by on the road that
ran by the castle. Those he took
a dislike to, however, he wouldn't
help, but instead intentionally
directed toward a perilous and
undetectable patch of quicksand,
from which there was little
chance of escape, near the river
Esk. Whether true or not, even
this grim story isn’t the worst
thing attributed to him.
Legend two varies a bit
with one saying the order was
given by a knight, while the other
says the order was given by
S k e l t o n
William the Lord of Muncaster
Castle. Version A says that a
young lady, Helwise, daughter of
a Sir Alan, went to a village
dance where she danced not
with a "gentleman" who made
advances on her, Wild Will of
Whitebeck, but with a young carpenter named Richard. In jealousy, Will followed Helwise and
Richard discovering the lady's
identity and that she and Richard
were secret lovers. Will went and
told the knight, Sir Ferdinand,
who wished to marry Helwise,
and he in a fit of rage told Skelton and ask him to kill the young
carpenter. In this story Tom
obliges as he belives Richard has
stolen a pouch of money from
him. In the other version the
young lady, unnamed, is the
daughter of William Pennington.
Tom sees her sneak off the
grounds to go dancing with the
young carpenter and tells Lord
Pennington, who then orders
Tom to kill the young carpenter.
It is the carpenter's gruesome end that matches in both
stories however. In both cases
Tom goes and gets Richard the
carpenter drunk and then walks
him back to his own workshop.
Once there, Tom decapitates
Richard with Richard's own wood
cutting and carving tools, leaving
the head buried under a pile of
wood shavings. The stories then
varies a bit again with Tom either
showing or telling his master,
Lord Pennington, about the deed
and then saying, "He will not find
his head so easily when he
awakes, as he did my shillings",
or " When the lazy dolt wakes
up, he’ll have trouble finding his
head.” Either it is these deeds
that supposedly gave rise to the
term, tom foolery, as whenever
someone mysteriously met an
end or was overcome by an accidental death, folks would proclaim it to be a bit of "Tom Foolery" and thus claim the dead
was probably pulled off by Tom
Skelton.
But he presents even a
deeper mystery of exactly when
he was alive. The Pennington
family states he worked for William Pennington, born 1517 and
died 1573, and the motely he is
wearing in a portrait of himself
shows him wearing a cotehardie

[Portrait from page 5]
a fashion from 1300 to early 1500; however, the same portrait which actually shows a detailed will, gives
names of friends and his current living location which some investigation shows matches in records in
that area for a similar man only in the early 1660's. Still earlier or later, apparently he loved the castle at
Muncaster Castle for it is said he haunts it still today, the sound of his dragging the carpenter's body up
the stairs echos in the halls, or pinches and pushes being given to certain vistors that catch his eye.
Good or bad, the Penningtons started selecting, via a contest, a new jester for Muncaster Castke every
year in honor of the man, his shinannegans, and his ghost.
