- The Duke of Athole's Nurse
The Duke of Athole's Nurse is Child ballad number 212.
ynopsis
A man looks to meet his love -- sometimes through the intermediary of the Duke of Athole's nurse -- and is directed to wait for her at an inn; she will come in the morning. Armed men come instead.
In most variants, he pleads with the innkeeper, who dresses him as a woman and sets him baking, so that the men do not find him.
