[2]  I have given a version of it in my English Fairy Tales, and there is a ballad on the subject entitled The Cruel Knight.

[3]  See Clouston, Book of Sindibad, p. 279.

[4]  Figured in M. Ulysse Robert, Signes dโ€™infamie au moyen รขge, Paris, 1891.  Lovers of Stevenson will remember the effective use made of this in The Black Arrow.

[6]  For occurrences of this incident in sagas, etc., see Grimm, Deutsche Rechtsalterthรผmer, 168โ€“70; in folk-tales, Dasent, Tales from the Norse, cxxxiv.โ€“v., n. xviii

[7]  Mr. Hartland has studied the โ€œLifetokenโ€ in the eighth chapter of his elaborate treatise on the Legend of Perseus.
