Fause Foodrage

Wise William is sent to seek her; he sends his wife, and when she finds her, she persuades her to change her son for her daughter, saying that they will both raise the other's child fittingly.

When the boy is grown, Wise William takes him by the royal castle and tells him the truth.

The son kills Fause Foodrage, rewards Wise William, and marries the daughter that his mother raised.

[6] The tune recorded with Fause Foodrage was used for the ballad Willie o Winsbury by mistake by Andy Irvine of Sweeney's Men (1968) and has since frequently been used for that song.

In contrast to Willie o Winsbury, the ballad Fause Foodrage has only rarely been recorded by modern folk musicians.
