Mary Hamilton
"Mary Hamilton", or "The Fower Maries" ("The Four Marys"), is a common name for a well-known sixteenth-century ballad from Scotland based on an apparently fictional incident about a lady-in-waiting to a Queen of Scotland. It is Child Ballad 173 and Roud 79. In all versions of the song, Mary Hamilton is a personal attendant to the Queen of Scots, but precisely which queen is not specified. She becomes pregnant by the Queen's husband, the King of Scots, which results in the birth of a baby. Mary kills the infant – in some versions by casting it out to sea or drowning, and in others by exposure. The crime is seen and she is convicted. The ballad recounts Mary's thoughts about her life and her impending death in a first-person narrative. Versions of the ballad have been recorded by a number of artists, including Joan Baez, The Corries, and Angelo Branduardi. Sources of the ballad Most versions of the song are set in Edinburgh (Scotland's traditional capital), but Joan Baez s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Charles Hamilton (female Husband)
Charles Hamilton (known when a child as Mary Hamilton) was an English 18th-century female husband. In 1746, Hamilton – while living as a man – married Mary Price. After Price reported she was suspicious of Hamilton's manhood to local authorities, Hamilton was prosecuted for vagrancy, and sentenced in 1746 to a public whipping in four towns and to six months imprisonment with hard labour. While the surviving records of the case indicate that Hamilton was actually prosecuted for vagrancy, the fact that she had penetrative sex and sexual intimacy with Mary Price prompted public opinion to ask for a severe punishment of what was considered as deceitful sexuality. Newspaper reports at the time claimed that there had been 14 marriages in all. A 1746 account in the ''Newgate calendar'' gives other details.Newgate CalendaA Woman who was imprisoned and whipped for marrying Fourteen Women 1746 In the same year, Henry Fielding published a fictionalised accountLouis Crompton, ''Homosex ...
