Richie Story - Synopsis

Synopsis

Of a group of sisters (three, five, or seven in different variants), one (the youngest, the oldest, the bonniest) falls in love with Richie Story (or some variant on the name Richard) and rejects an earl for him. She runs off with him.

In one variant, he proves rich, but in most, she lives in poverty with him, and on being asked if she regretted it, asks how could she, when she gained her heart's desire.

In another variant 'Richie' turns out to be the 'King of all England'.
