Conhecemo-los dos filmes e das séries: figuras coloridas e animadas, a cantar canções, declamar poesias ou a fazer malabarismos. Os bobos ou bufões fazem parte do imaginário das monarquias europeias, e de facto tinham um papel muito importante: entre ironias e brincadeiras, eram os únicos que podiam dizer a verdade ao seu monarca. No entanto, os bobos tinham vidas trágicas. Eram trazidos de orfanatos e manicómios, escolhidos pelas suas deficiências físicas ou mentais, para servir a curiosidade mórbida dos outros. Neste episódio conhecemos duas histórias de dois bobos europeus. O primeiro, William Sommers, de feições “élficas” e humor desregrado, sobreviveu 30 anos na corte dos Tudors. A segunda, Eugenia Martínez Vallejo, foi escolhida a dedo pelo seu enorme tamanho e forma robusta, forçada a pousar para o pintor da corte e apelidada de “A Monstra” com apenas 6 anos de idade. Mas o que sabemos realmente destas figuras esquecidas da História? E o que nos dizem sobre os homens e mulheres que deles faziam espectáculo?
