The True Story of Roland the Farter, and How the Internet Killed Professional Flatulence

Roland, Court Minstrel to 12th century English king Henry II, probably had many talents.

But history has recorded only one.

Referred to variously as Rowland le Sarcere, Roland le Fartere, Roland le Petour, and Roland the Farter, Roland really had a single job in the court: Every Christmas, during the court’s riotous pageant, he performed a dance that ended with “one jump, one whistle, and one fart”, executed simultaneously.

For this, Roland was gifted a manor house in Hemingstone, Suffolk, and more than 100 acres of land. For farting on cue.

  1. Hmmm... if that is all it takes to get some land, then I know a lot of politicians that are about to come into a fortune.
