The Yellow Fairy Book part 2

“As to the other King, he was really fond of his wife, Queen Constance, but he often grieved her by his thoughtless ways, and in order to punish him for his carelessness, the fairies caused her to die quite suddenly.”

Andrew Lang, ed., The Yellow Fairy Book

This is just ridiculous. King's wife was named Coretta Scott, and he was punished by getting shot. And it's completely inappropriate to trivialize such things.
