Subject: RE: Help: Seeking old Yorkshire ballad
I'm lost without my "Child!" Wasn't there a reference in Child about ballad #32 (King Henry) being of Danish origin? Something about "King Underwave's daughter? If so, and this became "King Henry" which was known in England prior to 1790; then couldn't the Danish "Moderen Under Mulde" be a precursor to an English ballad?
