Google says it originated back to ancient times, but it became popular (or at least most people's understanding of it) in medieval times.

I'm not too sure as the qualification is relatively subjective (at least when compared to say a smith or a cooper), but this profession usually appeared in relatively upper class.

Is it a mummer?

I can't stand mummers. The second best thing that's resulted from Covid-19 is that we've had a year free from bloody mummers.
