    Summary

    After winning the decisive victory over Warwick and the Lancastrians, King Edward IV had to make an arrangement for Lady Anne Neville, whose hand was sought by his youngest brother Richard Duke of Gloucester. However, to his surprise, Lady Anne Neville stubbornly refused to marry his brother, giving the reason that "he [Gloucester] has uneven shoulders". To teach her a lesson, Edward IV vowed to marry off to the very first man who came to Court on Yuletide celebrations.

    On the first day of Yuletide celebration, a beggar came to the court - long hair covering half of his face, with a hunchback and a withered arm...

    Based on the Fairy Tale "King Thrushbeard".
