[Year of first publication] Traditional, perhaps as early as the 13th century [Character(s)] The Jew's Daughter [Work] "Hugh of Lincoln" or "The Jew's Daughter" [Creator] Traditional, included in Volume 3 of Francis James Child's English and Scottish Ballads from a version transcribed by Bishop Thomas Percy in 1765[8] [Country of publication] England [Details] Child collected over 20 versions[9] of the ballad which recounts a tale of blood libel in which young boy, Sir Hugh, is lured by the Jew's daughter into her house (or castle depending upon the version) so that he can retrieve his ball that he had kicked into her window (or garden). Once in the house, the ballad says she ritually murders him to collect his blood for a ritual before throwing his body in a well where his mother finds it after his ghost calls out to her. While the boy in the ballad has been linked to Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln, both Child and Percy preface the ballad with a statement that as historical record, the tale is untrue.[10] [Media]
