King Thrushbeard (mxm)

When arrogant, shallow Prince Willliam rejects and cruelly dubs his suitor, King Thomas IV, 'King Thrushbeard', his parents become so angry that they proclaim William must marry the next person who shows up at the doors of the palace.

A few days later, a poor, lute-playing minstrel named Tom shows up at the castle, begging for food. Keeping true to their word, William's parents force him to marry the beggar and leave the palace to go live in a dirty cottage in the forest that belongs to King Thrushbeard.

This story is based on the Fairytale 'King Thrushbeard' by the brother's Grimm.
