Minstrel.
In Celtic tradition, minstrels enjoy certain privileges. They are the singers of poetry, praising tribal leaders, extolling heroic deeds, celebrating the enactment of laws, and so on. Celtic mythology even suggests that minstrels possess magic power. When they recite mythological epics and heroic songs, they can dispel evil and ill omens, inspiring morale and fighting spirit.
The prototype of the minstrel in Dungeons and Dragons comes from here, so it's rumored they also know some simple spells.
In contrast.
In the Nordic region, they are called Northern Bards, meaning propagators of Nordic mythology, composing hymns for mortal heroes. No matter where the Northern Bards travel, chieftains and kings have to pay them well to entertain, so their fame and prestige can spread.
They are adept at getting food and drinks without contributing much.
Minstrels are an indispensable part of indigenous society.
