He sang and played a lute amongst many other instruments, such as a hurdy gurdy, Dulcimer and cittern.
He or sometimes they also were like a newspaper (which hadn't been invented) and took stories from one place to another, and put the story to music. This way Lords and Ladies as well as the common folk learnt about the scandals of the day, an entertainer had to be very careful though what was said as they could be arrested for what they said.
First of all, the beginnings of "Secular Music" only date from 1100 AD. Prior to that there was only Church music and the musicians were usually part of the church. If you were musically inclined, and weren't part of the church, life was pretty hard for you. You would wander about from town to town and from fair to fair singing and/or playing for whatever the crowd deigned to throw your way. Sometimes you might get hired by an Inn for a time to play for the customers in return for room, food and whatever tips you could get. If you were very good at your craft you might be recognized by a local nobleman who would become your Patron. He would give you shelter and feed you as long as you entertained him. If your Patron was pleased with you he might even give you gifts and/or money. If you couldn't keep your Patron entertained, and he tired of you, he would cast you out, and you would be right back where you were before; playing for tips on the road.
In 1125 AD the Troubadours first appeared in France. They were composers and performers of lyric poetry that dealt, primarily, with chivalry and courtly love. The style spread throughout Europe, finally dying out about 1348. Typically, they stayed in one place for a lengthy period of time under the patronage of a wealthy nobleman or woman. Many did travel extensively, however, sojourning at one court and then another.
In 1200 AD the first professional "Bards" appeared, and then in 1300 Jongleurs first started appearing. These itinerant entertainers not only composed and performed music, they also told stories and were actors, jugglers or acrobats. One thing that all wandering minstrels throughout the middle ages and renaissance were expected to do was to bring news and gossip of what was happening in other parts of the land. For this reason alone they were usually welcomed wherever they wandered.

What is the difference between a professional orchestra and semiprofessional orchestra?
Simply put, a professional orchestra is one in which the musicians make their living primarily as orchestra musicians. A semiprofessional orchestra usually has a core of professional musicians, as well as players who, while of professional (or near-professional calibre, make their living primarily outside of performing. This can include students, talented community members who make their living outside of music, and musicians who make their primary living outside of performing. Musicians in a semiprofessional orchestra are generally paid, but there are usually several pay levels dependent upon the player's status. For instance, there may be principals (section leaders), section players (full-time), section players (part-time), and section players (student). Semiprofessional orchestras also tend to engage musicians who play unusual instruments on a per-call (casual) basis.

I'm currently working on making it right now as a costume for a Madrigal dinner in the Spring. Don't be deceived by the title, it's not a Victorian style costume.
