Enfin !

« This was a famous story and a visit to Loosduinen was almost compulsory for all sight-seers. Pepys later acquired a ballad on the subject […]. Margaret, Countess of Henneberg, on being asked for alms by a poor woman carrying twins, is said to have refused and to have told the woman that her twins could not be the children of one father (it being a common superstition that twins were the fruit of adultery). The woman thereupon pronounced a curse that the Countess should have as many children at a birth as there were days in the year. As a result, she gave birth to 365 children on Good Friday 1277, half boys, half girls (the odd one over being a hermaphrodite). The boys were baptised John, the girl Elizabeth, but all of them died, with their mother, shortly afterwards. The basins which Pepys saw were in the church […]. The basins and inscription are still in the church. »
