A courtier ( /ˈkɔːrtiə/; French: [kuʁtje]) is a person who is often in attendance at the court of a king or other royal personage. Historically the court was the centre of government as well as the residence of the monarch, and social and political life were often completely mixed together. A female courtier was called a courtesan, although today this name has come to include other female entertainer who serve the upper class with or without sexual connotation.
Monarchs very often expected the more important nobles to spend much of the year in attendance on them at court. Courtiers were not all noble, as they included clergy, soldiers, clerks, secretaries, and agents and middlemen of all sorts with regular business at court. Promotion to important positions could be very rapid at court, and for the ambitious there was no better place to be. As social divisions became more rigid, a divide, barely present in Antiquity or the Middle Ages, opened between menial servants and other classes at court, although Alexandre Bontemps, the head valet de chambre of Louis XIV was a late example of a "menial" who managed to establish his family in the nobility. The key commodities for a courtier were access and information, and a large court operated at many levels - many successful careers at court involved no direct contact with the monarch himself.

I give my all my everything
Anything you want I strive to be
I tried, god knows I've tried
Or am I stuck somewhere between
Who I am and who I hope to be
Am I fighting the good fight
Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong
Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong
I've come so far to fall too fast
Eyes forward I can't look back I try
God knows I try
I shift my eyes through the sky
In the distance see the horizon line
She waits for me
Fighting the good fight
Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong
Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong
I give my all my everything
Anything you want I strive to be
Am I stuck somewhere between
Who I am and who I hope to be
Fighting, I'm fighting
Fighting the good fight
Am I stuck somewhere in between
Who I am and who I hope to be
Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong
Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong
Remember that
Sometimes I fall in between
The nights blue moon and the shadows it keeps
Fight on, Fight the good fight
What you know is wrong
And I'll keep fighting the good fight
Fight on, good fight
Fight on and fight
Keep fighting the good fight
Fight on, fight on
Fight on, keep fighting the good fight
