The mysterious legend of the green children of Woolpit starts during the reign of King Stephen, in a rather tumultuous time in England’s history called ‘The Anarchy‘ in the mid 12th century. In this town named after a wolf pit in around 1150, a group of villagers came across two young children with green skin, apparently speaking gibberish and acting nervously. The children were taken to the nearby home of Sir Richard de Calne. Did they come from an otherworldly land of green people or was it something more explainable? Naturally, we mostly just attack the weird knight that took them in.
