There was a French one in the 15th century who was to be executed for making fun of the king and queen. They asked for his method of execution, and he said "old age", so they just banished him.

One of the purpose of the court jester was to make fun of the king/nobles to make sure they remembered that they were fallible (and not surround themselves with "yes"men).
