Cétaient, daprès Petit de Julleville, « les anciens célébrants de la Fête des Fous, jetés hors de lÉglise par les Conciles indignés, et rassemblés sur la place publique, ou dans le prochain carrefour, pour y continuer la fête ». Ils étaient habillés, comme les fous de cour, mi-partie en jaune, mi-partie en vert ; ils avaient sur la tête un chapeau garni de grelots et surmonté doreilles d'âne ; à la main, ils tenaient une marotte.
