The Romantic Review, Volume 99, Number 3. pp. 175–89 There they go, there they go! There is blood on her shoe. The shoe is too small. Not the right bride at all!“ The twelfth-century AD lai of Le Fresne ("The Ash-Tree Girl"), retold by Marie de France, is a variant of the "Cinderella" story [9] :41 in which a wealthy noblewoman abandons her infant daughter at the base of an ash tree outside a nunnery with a ring and brocade as tokens of her identity [9] :41 because she is one of twin sisters [9] :41—the mother fears that she will be accused of infidelity [9] :41 (according to popular belief, twins were evidence of two different fathers). [15] The infant is discovered by the porter, who names her Fresne, meaning "Ash Tree", [9] :41 and she is raised by the nuns. [9] :41 After she has attained maturity, a young nobleman sees her and becomes her lover. [9] :41 The nobleman, however, is forced to marry a woman of noble birth. [9] :41 Fresne accepts that she will never marry her beloved [9] :41 but waits in the wedding chamber as a handmaiden. [9] :41 She covers the bed with her own brocade [9] :41 but, unbeknownst to her, her beloved's bride is actually her twin sister, [9] :41 and her mother recognizes the brocade as the same one she had given to the daughter she had abandoned so many years before. [9] :41 Fresne's true parentage is revealed [9] :41 and, as a result of her noble birth, she is allowed to marry her beloved, [9] :41 while her twin sister is married to a different nobleman.

She tried hard, but it just would not fit. Then the second step-sister tried to fit her foot inside. She tried and tried with all her might, too. But no dice. The Prince, who had thought the moment he saw her that the poor girl was very much like the beautiful Princess, was delighted. He insisted on Cinderella telling him her story, which she did very modestly, and all listened with wonder. The little man then turned, mounted his horse and galloped off—followed closely by the two knights.

[9] :27–28 [10] She was taken to the young prince, dressed as she was. He thought she was more charming than before, and, a few days after, married her. Cinderella, who was no less good than beautiful, gave her two sisters lodgings in the palace, and that very same day matched them with two great lords of the court. Cinderella returned to her daily chores. And her step-sisters continued their relentless beastliness towards her. Mulhern, Chieko Irie (1979). "Cinderella and the Jesuits.
