A troubadour was a composer and performer of songs during the Middle Ages in Europe.
The word troubadour comes from the Occitan verb "trouber," which means "to find." The word is used to designate musicians who spoke Occitan (or langue d'oc) and whose style spread to the trouvères in the north of France, who spoke langues d'oïl.
In some games in Intelligent Systems's Fire Emblem series, a Troubadour is a class, depicted as a healer on horseback.
It does have a list of various titles, although many are not relevant to the SCA (Minister of Industry, Section Chief of the Central Committee of the Party, Inspection Officer, etc.).
Since this is a history and not a dictionary, it is not of a lot of use for general SCA purposes.
However, the lists are not accurate and contain names that are inappropriate to the cultures they claim to represent as well as, in some cases, including names of non-Humans.
