What is the term for a peasant appointed to take charge of Christmas revelries during the Feast of Fools?
Answer Lord of Misrule
The Lord of Misrule was typically a beggar or student who was essentially crowned king for the day during Christmas festivities. Additionally, poor citizens would visit homes of the rich and demand food and drink as a part of this topsy-turvy celebration.
