Entertainment at medieval feasts was for the most part in between courses
and/or music (*vocal or instrumental) was used as background music. The
'entertainers should not expect to be 'listened' to if they perform during
the feast. That is (or was) not their function. The diners should realize
they need not listen and continue with their conversations.
