"The Fair Flower of Northumberland" (Roud (25 ), Child 9) is a folk ballad.〔Francis James Child, ''English and Scottish Popular Ballads'', ("The Fair Flower of Northumberland" )〕 ==Synopsis== A Scottish knight is taken by the Earl of Northumberland. The knight persuades the Earl's daughter, the fair flower, to free him and come with him to Scotland, by promising to marry her. As soon as they reach his home, he tells her to return to Northumberland as he already has a wife and children. She pleads with him to take her as a servant, or to kill her, both of which he refuses. Terrified, she returns. In some variants, her father or stepmother complains of how easily her love was won, but in all, her mother or father blames the seduction on Scottish treachery, and says that she will have gold and lands to get her a husband.
