Goliard

1951, F. Brittain, The Mediaeval Latin and Romance Lyric to A.D. 1300, 2nd Edition, Reprinted 2009, page 16, The Goliard, indeed, can be regarded as a sub-species of the jongleur, and evidence exists that the personnel of the two classes was to some extent interchangeable. […] The anonymous Goliard known as the Archpoet⁽¹¹⁸⁾ was of higher social standing than most of his confreres and, as a poet, one of the greatest of his class.

1996, Judith Lynn Sebesta (editor and translator), Jeffrey M. Duban (translator), Carl Orff: Carmina Burana: Cantiones Profange, page 5, A few lucky Goliards gained a more secure life by being adopted by some rich patron, just as the Archpoet, the most famous Goliard, had himself been taken up by the Archbishop of Cologne. Most Goliards roved from town to town, begging food and lodging, earning some coins by pleasing their audience with their songs.
