    They wanted to get her out and to get her married.
    When their mother and father died, her brothers took her out of the tower and got her married to another king. Then she started stealing and doing all sorts of mischief again. Her husband got her hanged, but that night someone began choking him in the bed. His soldiers came in and saved him.
    They went to the old man again and he told them to set fire to her at a cross-roads. She never came back again.
