Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: A princess refuses all (one) who come to her as suitors [H311] without giving a reason. She ridicules them and calls them ugly names (Thrushbeard) [T74.0.1, T76]. Her father, angry at this behavior, decides that she has to marry the next man who comes [T62], even if he is a beggar. The last rejected wooer decides to take revenge. He appears disguised as a beggar [K1816.0.3, K1817.1] (in arrangement with her father) and the princess is forced into marriage [T72.2.1] (the beggar purchases the right to spend three nights with her [T45, K1361]; she becomes pregnant). The couple runs away (is banished by the king). On the way the prince in disguise humilates his new wife. She has to beg and sell in the marketplace, she has to work in the kitchen of his own castle and he even forces her to steal [L113.1.0.1, L431, H465, Q483, H461, T251. 2]. During a celebration (supposedly the wedding of the once rejected prince) he, in his true character as prince, exposes her as a thief before all the people at court. Only then does he reveal himself to her as her beggar husband [H181]. He forgives her for her haughtiness and their official wedding is celebrated. Cf. Type 900C*.
