Child Ballad #231, The Earl of Errol, is about a lawsuit brought by the Earl's wife, claiming that he cannot impregnate her. I won't reveal the stunning conclusion, but you can read several versions at http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/eng/child/ch231.htm. I don't think it's particularly apt for Advent, but it's an interesting tale. |
