Jane Foole

Jane Foole, also known as Jane The Foole, Jane, The Queen's Fool, "Jeanne le Fol" or "Jane Hir Fole" (fl. 1537–1558), was an English court fool (distinct from a jester). She was the fool of queens Catherine Parr and Mary I, and possibly also of Anne Boleyn.

Today, entertainers sometimes perform as "Jane" in Renaissance-themed entertainments such as Renaissance faires.
