medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

I've long been curious about court jesters - in particular, the
possibility that they enjoyed more freedom of expression than anyone
else at court, especially in more repressive environments.  I have some
time to start reading, so...

(a) is my impression right?
(b) can people supply me with references?
