The goliards were a group of clergy and students in medieval Europe known for their satirical poetry and songs that often criticized the Church and its practices. Their rebellious writings and lifestyle eventually led to them being denied the privileges of the clergy. The goliards' relationship with the Church was strained due to their outspoken criticism and their vagabond lifestyle, which was seen as incompatible with the expectations of clerical conduct. This estrangement from the Church's privileges was a result of their continuous challenge to ecclesiastical authority through their literary works and behavior.
