Bards that are legitimate historians that perform through ortatory tale-spinning instead of jerking an instrument like a wanker

Skald
Loremaster who tells stories instead of singing/playing instruments

So 5e lore bard? I like this idea

Search "Bard" on Google images.

So much this.

If you go read the vidas of medieval troubadors you'll see that on average they were well educated petty knights who sang and composed in addition to their military duties for their liege.
Many died in battle (like Friedrich von Hausen and Jaufre Rudel, crusaders). Others were actual rulers, like William of Aquitaine (a fucking duke) or Alberico da Romano and Rambertino Buvalelli (italian podestà).
This idea that bards were mostly faggish performers is a modern thing.
