Willie and Earl Richard's Daughter (Child 102, Roud 3910) is a traditional English-language folk ballad.
[2] Willie, or Archibald, and the earl's daughter fall in love, and she becomes pregnant.
In some variants, she survives and nurses him; in others, she dies, and Archibald laments that his son's being alive makes matters worse because he can not nourish the boy.
The motifs for this ballad come from Willie o Douglas Dale and Leesome Brand.
[2] The ballad was recorded by Spiers and Boden under the title The Birth of Robin Hood on their 2008 album Vagabond; a new recording appeared on their 2011 album The Works, with harmony vocals by Eliza Carthy.
