Episode 20: Dear God what is that thing?

  • サマリー

  • We are finally getting to one of the ballad types and topics that made me realize how much potential lay in these old songs…. Monstrous births. Or, to be clear, that's how they were marketed at the time. They were actually an overall mix of true accounts of birth defects and used the idea of deformity as a direct metaphor. Either which way it went, one thing remained the same. The mother was almost always to blame in some way or another.

    Prides's Fall
    The two inseparable brothers.

    Infant Mortality Rates
    The Jersey Devil
    Colloredo Twins
     Succession to the Crown Act 
    Freaks
    NIH: Pregnancy test timeline
    The Encyclopedia of Superstitions by Richard Webster
    The Odd Superstition Behind Birthmarks
    Medieval disability glossary.
