Travelling troubadour of old (8)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
minstrel
'travelling troubadour of old' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for minstrel that I've seen before include "Troubador" , "Travelling musician of the middle ages" , "Mediaeval entertainer" , "one entertains" , "Balladeer" .)
