In medieval Gaelic and Welsh society, a bard (Scottish and Irish Gaelic) or bardd (Welsh) was a professional poet, employed to compose eulogies for his lord (see planxty). If the employer failed to pay the proper amount, the bard would then compose a satire (c.f. fili, fÃ¡ith). In other Indo-European societies, the same function was fulfilled by skalds, rhapsodes, minstrels and scops, among others.
