Kevin Werner Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 3 (135* d) RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 3 16 Jul 18


I was thinking about Child 11D.
As far as I know in none of the other Child 11 Cruel Brother versions does a knight offer golden rings or any such gift to a woman.

The stanza,

He courted the eldest with golden rings,
And the others with many fine things.

really belongs to Child 10 The Twa Sisters.
