[1] (Roud 3335)[2] Rose the Red and White Lily had lost their mother, and their father had remarried an evil stepmother.
White Lily went to the greenwood in search of her love Brown Robin—or in some variants Robin Hood -- she found him, and became pregnant.
She blows it, Rose the Red comes, and Brown Robin fights her until she is wounded and admits to being a woman.
The news that one of Brown Robin's men has given birth spread to the court, and the king and Bold Arthur, Rose the Red's love, came to see.
The king insisted on a double wedding, and Rose the Red commented on what their stepmother's reaction would have been, if only she could see.
