MMario:

It certainly has VERY general similarities in plot to Broomfield Hill, that is: A maiden is brought to a place where a man means to deflower her. While he is sleeping, she escapes still a maiden.

That's an extremely general resemblance, seems to me. Now whether there is a developmental track of versions that would show a historical connection I don't know, but just based on the commonalities in plot it seems far-fetched to posit any close connection, seems to me.
