One day, he oinks that he wants a human wife, one of the baker's daughters. The baker's elder daughter is convinced of marrying the pig, and they celebrate the wedding. The pig prince, however, wanders through town to play in the mud, and returns to the palace to meet his wife in their wedding chambers. He jumps on the bed to caress her, and ends up dirtying her dress. The girl tries to shoo him away in disgust, and the pig threatens her. The next morning, she is found dead. </p><p>King Crin decides to marry again, this time to the baker's middle daughter. Again, befitting his porcine appearance, he dirties himself in mudpits around the city and goes back to his wife in their chambers. Once again, he dirties her dress, she complains about it, and he kills her for it. </p><p>Finally, the baker's youngest daughter marries the pig, treating him with kindness despite the pig's behaviour, and survives the night. One night, however, she lights a taper to better see her husband, and finds on her bedside a handsome youth instead of the pig. She then accidentally drops the taper on his body and he wakes up. King Crin then admonishes his wife, saying she will only find him after filling seven jars with tears, and wearing out seven pairs of iron shoes, seven iron hats and seven iron mantles, then vanishes. </p><p>The girl decides to go after her husband: after she sheds tears to fill the jars, she commissions the iron garments to begin her quest. She passes by the house of the Wind ('Vent', in the original) and its mother, and is given a chestnut. She next goes to the house of the Lightning ('Losna', in the original) and its mother, and is given a walnut, and lastly to the house of the Thunder ('Tron', in the original) and its mother, and gains a hazelnut. </p><p>At the end of her wanderings, she reaches a city where the now human King Crin is set to be married to the local princess. Following the advice of the mothers of the elements, she cracks open the nuts to find valuable items inside: the chestnut reveals gems and diamonds, the walnut produces gowns and silks; and the hazelnut yields horses and carriages. For three days, the girl bribes the local princess with the exquisite gifts so she can spend a night with her husband. She gives the gems and diamonds to the princess, who gives King Crin a sleeping potion and he cannot react to his true wife's tearful pleas. The situation repeats on the second night. On the third night, King Crin pretends to be asleep, and secretly listens to his wife's pleas. He wakes up and recognizes her, and they both go home.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Analysis">Analysis</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=King_Crin_(Italian_fairy_tale)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Analysis"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tale_type">Tale type</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=King_Crin_(Italian_fairy_tale)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Tale type"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Philologist <a href="/w/index.php?title=Gianfranco_D%27Aronco&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Gianfranco D'Aronco (page does not exist)">Gianfranco D'Aronco</a><span class="noprint" style="font-size:85%; font-style: normal;"> [<a href="https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianfranco_D%27Aronco" class="extiw" title="it:Gianfranco D'Aronco">it</a>]</span> classified the tale as Italian type 425, <i>Lo sposo scomparso</i> ("The Lost Husband").<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Italian type corresponds, in the international <a href="/wiki/Aarne-Thompson-Uther_Index" class="mw-redirect" title="Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index">Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index</a>, to type ATU 425, "The Search for the Lost Husband".

In this tale, a pregnant queen walks to a terrace for a bit of fresh air, when she insults a passing beggar woman by calling her a swine. In return, the woman curses the queen to give birth to a pig. A prince is born, in the shape of a pig, and the queen realizes it was the beggar woman's fault. The pig prince grows up and, when he is older, wants to be married. One day, he sees a <i>mugolio'</i>s three daughters, and falls in love with one of them. The <i>mugolio</i> is told of the prince's wishes and asks his daughter which will want to marry the pig: the youngest and the middle daughter refuse to do so, while the elder agrees. The pig and the girl marry in a ceremony, and, in their bedchambers, the prince takes off his pigskin to become a handsome youth. His wife is surprised at this turn of events, but the youth asks her not to tell his mother, since his porcine appearance is due to her arrogance during the pregnancy. The girl promises the youth not to tell anyone, but, the next morning, the queen pesters her for details and she blabs about it. The same night, the pig prince chastises his wife for betraying his secret, and kills her. This happens again with the second sister. The pig marries the third sister and shows her his true form, asking her not to tell his mother. The next morning, the third sister tries to keep quiet about her husband's secret, but she tells the queen and asks her not to tell a soul about it. The same night, the pig youth admonishes his wife, but, instead of killing her, says she will only find him after she wears down seven iron canes, seven iron dresses and seven pairs of iron shoes, and fill seven jugs with tears. He kisses his mother goodbye and departs. The girl goes after him, and meets three old woman on the road, each giving her a gift (a nut, a hazelnut, and an almond) and some advice: cracking open the nuts and bribing her husband's second bride, a queen, with its objects for a night with the human pig prince. The girl finally wears out the seven iron garments and reaches a palace. She cracks open the nuts and finds three "galanterie" which she uses to bribe for three nights with her husband. She fails on the first two nights, but manages it on the third, by recounting her journey to make him remember (in her verses, she calls herself "Son Ginevra bella"). The pig prince wakes up, since he put a sleeping potion in his second bride's drink, and orders his servants to bring all his riches to back to his mother's castle. His orders are carried out and the pig prince returns to his mother's palace with his wife in tow. Back to the second bride, she wakes up and notices that the castle is empty from top to bottom, releases a loud scream and falls dead.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="The_Pig_King_(Pitrè)"><span id="The_Pig_King_.28Pitr.C3.A8.29"></span>The Pig King (Pitrè)</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=King_Crin_(Italian_fairy_tale)&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: The Pig King (Pitrè)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Italian folklorist <a href="/wiki/Giuseppe_Pitr%C3%A8" title="Giuseppe Pitrè">Giuseppe Pitrè</a> collected a tale from <a href="/wiki/Pratovecchio" class="mw-redirect" title="Pratovecchio">Pratovecchio</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tuscany" title="Tuscany">Tuscany</a>, with the title <i>Il re porco</i>.

One day, he finds a suitable bride for him: the elder daughter of a <i>calzolaio</i>. The pig prince marries the elder daughter and, during the celebration, he sploshes in the mud and dirties his bride's dress. The girl complains and is killed for it on their wedding night.

In this tale, a king and a queen fervently wish to have a son. After many prayers, one is born to them: a pig, to the queen's great distress. The pig grows up and asks his mother fo find him a wife. The queen herself questions his intentions, since who would want to marry a pig? Despite her reservations, she finds a poor tailor ('sartor', in the original) with three daughters. The queen sends for the tailor about the prospect of marriage between their families. At first, the man is hesitant, but agrees to his elder daughter's marriage to the pig prince. After the wedding ceremony, the pig prince goes to the wedding chambers to meet his wife, but, since he has rolled in the mud during the day, he dirties the bride's clothes. The girl shoos away the pig prince, and he kills her. After a while, the pig prince asks his mother to find him another wife. She does: the tailor's middle daughter, who marries the pig prince, shoos him away on the wedding night, and is killed in retaliation. Lastly, the pig prince asks a third time for a bride, and the queen brings him the tailor's youngest daughter. Before the girl leaves, her mother reminds her to burn the pigskin after the prince is asleep. The youngest daughter marries the prince and follows her mother's suggestion, but the pig prince disappears. The girl begins a quest for him around the world with three pairs of iron shoes and an iron cane. On the road, she meets an old man, who does not the location of the King Pig's palace, but directs her to another old man and gives her a nut ('nosa'). She keeps on her journey and meets another old man, who gives her another nut ('nosella') and finally a third old man, who gives her an almond nut ('mandola'). The third old man tells the girl the King Pig has married another woman, and now lives in a grand palace. The girl finishes her quest by wearing down the seven pairs of iron shoes, until she reaches King Pig's palace, and finds work there. One day, she cracks open the first nut and finds a beautiful dress, which she uses to trade with the queen for one night in King Pig's chambers. She tries to wake him up, but the tale says he was asleep "like a pig". Some time later, she cracks open the second nut, which contains a sea-coloured dress, and she trades it for a second night in King Pig's quarters. Once again, he fails to wake up. Desperate that she failed twice, the girl breaks open the almond nut, and finds a sky-coloured dress, which she trades for a third night in his chambers. At last, King Pig wakes up and is told everything by his first wife. The King Pig chastises the queen, saying that by selling him she cannot be his wife, and goes back with the girl.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="The_Pig_King_(Busk)"><span id="The_Pig_King_.28Busk.29"></span>The Pig King (Busk)</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=King_Crin_(Italian_fairy_tale)&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: The Pig King (Busk)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Author <a href="/wiki/Rachel_Harriette_Busk" title="Rachel Harriette Busk">Rachel Harriette Busk</a> collected an Italian tale from <a href="/wiki/Marche" title="Marche">Marche</a> with the title <i>Il re porco</i> ("The Pig King"). In this tale, a king's son is transformed into a pig by a female enemy of the king. Despite the porcine transformation, the prince's mother, the queen, can still read his wishes, and surmises he wants to be married. Knowing that no girl of noble descent will want to marry him, so she resorts to a girl of low station. She finds a baker with three daughters, and marries the eldest to the pig son. They move out to a newly built palace, and the pig prince approaches his bride while he is dirty with mud. The girl shoos him away, and he, in retaliation, he jumps on her, killing her. This repeats with the baker's second daughter. Their sister, the baker's youngest daughter, named Doralice, offers to marry the pig prince. Her friends comment with her about the situation, but Doralice replies he was a kind prince before the curse, and she could never blame him for it. The queen summons her after learning of her true feeling, and marries her to the prince. On the wedding night, Doralice embraces the pig prince, and, due to her love for him, he turns back into a human prince. Despite the good news, the human prince asks her to keep the secret between them, lest their enemy learns of this. For months, Doralice manages to remain quiet about the secret, and the prince lives as a pig during the day and human by night. One day, however, she pays a visit to her father, who has a guest with him: a spurned suitor to Doralice. The man mocks Doralice for marrying a pig, but she answers that, by marrying the pig, she saved him. On telling this, the pig prince disappears, and Doralice tries to find him. The pig prince appears to her and says the evil princess has him under her power, but Doralice can find him by walking with seven iron canes, wear down seven pairs of iron shoes, and after filling seven jars with her tears. She begins her quest and, at certain points of the journey, cries over a jar to fills it. After she sits to rest by a tree and fills the seventh jar, she meets an old hermit (who the story explains is a sorcerer and another enemy to the evil princess), who says her journey is almost at an end, for she is near to the evil princess's castle. He also gives her a nut, a hazelnut, and a nut, which she is to use at the last moment, then goes away. Doralice thanks him and goes to the evil princess's castle in man's garments. She breaks the nuts and finds beautiful jewels inside each one. She then passes herself off as a seller from a distant country and trades the jewels for three nights in the Pig King's presence. The evil princess agrees to a trade, and allows Doralice to spend the night with him, but drugs him with a sleeping potion on the first two nights. As such, Doralice cannot wake him up on the first two nights, but manages it on the third.

In this tale, a baker has three beautiful daughters. One day, they are visited by an old woman who brins with her a pig. The old woman tells the girls about the pig's marvellous abilities, and convinces the elder girl to come with her to see it for herself. The girl, the old woman and the pig go to a meadow, and the old woman locks the girl with the pig in an underground castle, then explains she will not be released until the pig finds himself a wife. Down in the subterranean castle, the pig insists to marry the girl, but she refuses. The old woman traps the girl behind a room, and goes to fetch the second girl, who undergoes the same events. Finally, the youngest sister decides to go with the old woman so she can meet her sisters, and agrees to marry the pig. On hearing this, the pig turns into a human youth, who says he is a prince, cursed by the old woman since his childhood, and could only be saved if a woman agrees to marry him in pig form. However, the girl cannot tell anyone about this. The girl agrees to his terms, and goes to meet her elder sisters, telling them she accepted the pig's proposal to save them. The sisters press further and the girl is forced to tell the secret. Suddenly, the old woman enters through the doors and orders the elder sisters to return home, adding that the girl's prince will return to his kingdom, and she will only find him if she wears down seven pairs of iron shoes and fill seven jars with her tears - in the timespan of eight months. On learning this, the girl commissions the seven pairs of iron shoes and begins her quest. After seven months, she meets the old woman again, who gives her a nut and an almond nut, and direct her to a city where the human pig prince is. As a final piece of advice, the old woman tells the girl to open the nuts and use their contents to bribe for a night with the prince. The girl follows her orders, dons a pilgrim disguise and goes to the city, then cracks open the nut (which produces a golden pillow) and the almond (which produces a golden statue). The girl trades the golden objects with the local queen for a night with the prince; she fails to wake him up on the first night, because he was given a sleeping drink by the queen, but manages to wake him up on the second.

In this tale, the pig prince is cursed by his stepmother, and marries the baker's third daughter. One night, the girl tells her mother about the pig husband's secret, and her mother burns the pigskin the next day. The pig prince disappears, and the girl goes after him. She is given an apple by an old man, a hazelnut by an old woman, and a nut by another old man. The girl reaches the palace of the false bride and cracks open the apple (which produces a golden hen with golden chicks), the hazelnut (which produces a golden carriage driven by golden horses and a golden coachman) and the nut (which produces a herd of sheep that talk instead of bleating). She passes herself off as a poor pilgrim and trades the gifts with the false bride for three nights with the prince.
