Answer to Jack and Jill Question about Jack's Crown

cool!

Interesting:)

very interesting....

Interesting interpretation, though I've read two published reports in the last 10 years that have claimed a town in England is the source of the real story.

Newsweek did a story about this a few years back.

A town in England has a lot of residents named Jilson - these townsfolk are supposedly named after Jill's son - hence, Jilson...

The town claims that Jack and Jill grew up, fell in love in the town and that Jack did indeed die of a skull fracture.


Let me Google and see if I can find anything.

I've heard a lot of other nursery rhymes connected with Royalty, such as "Rock a Bye Baby."

Also, the French connection could be an historicl interpretaion (though not necessarliy an actual fact) of the rumors that may have started after Jack's death, assuming the town in England is really the birthplace of Jack and Jill.

This particular town has erected monumnets to Jack and Jill, and such.

I'll Google and then I'll return.

Here's what I found:

"North Somerset Coalfields. Steeped in history, the route also passes Kilmersdon where the story behind the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme comes form and Mells where Little Jack Horner supposedly obtained the deeds to Mells Manor after they were hidden in a pie.

A bonus for some factual info about Little Jack Horner.

The locale mentioned is in the region of Bath. Mells is the town from whence Jack and Jill hailed and Jack Horner, also.
The URL is very long; I've broken it into 3 parts. You need to reconnect and paste it as a whole.

Thank you. This is actually fun. I'll be doing more of it, I'm sure.

I still haven't gotten over the fact that Humpty Dumpty was a cannon and not an egg that fell off the wall! Or that Ring Around the Rosie represents death from a horrible disease.

cool and interesting

Many, many nursery rhymes has their beginnings as messages, a code to send info to others and no one would know. This fascinates me and I loved reading the article.

interesting thanks for posting this.
