The Wisest of Fools

THE function OF the Kings fool in medieval
L times was n a measure an important one,
and he who hlled the post had often very great
influence with his sovereign. Perhaps the
brightest and most astute of fools was Tri-
boulet, the favorlte Jester OF Francis l.
1t was reported that His Majesty, who was
OF very generous nature, had acceded to a
request OF Charles V, Emperor OF Germany,
that he might pass through France on his way
from Spain to the Netherlands. Putting aside
all recollection Of what he had suffered at the
EmPeror's hands while a captive IN Spain
FraIlcls was preparing to receive Charles with
much ceremony and splendOT.
Observing one morning that Triboulet was
scrlbbllng lndustTIOusly upon a bit OF paper
trancls inquired what he was doing.
have Just added the name Of Emperor
Charles Of Germany TO my list Of fool" "
answered the Jester. - q sovereign who Is com
rlittIng the incredible folly of lntrusting HIM
self TO you by passing through Your kingdom"
Folly: How, II I should let him pass

was the audacious retort Of the fool
On one occasion q powerful nobleman,
TesentIng the gIbes Of the Kings fool, had
threatened to have him fogged. Immediately
ITl5oulet appealed to the King for protection.
Have no fear, Trboulet," said Francis
Il any Were bold enough to Kill YOU, | should

Irboulet smiled. Please. Your Majesty"
said he, would It not be better to have him
