As children, they were inseparable. At first, their parents didn't think anything of it, but as the years passed by, the siblings bond only grew more intimate. No one could put their finger on it, but something about the way that Julian and Marguerite interacted with one another seemed unnatural. In an effort to separate them, Julian was shipped off to school. Then, at only 14 years old, Marguerite was married to a 32-year-old nobleman. Unfortunately, Marguerite's new husband soon began to abuse her. After just two years of marriage, she fled from her husband's estate, returning home in the hopes that her family would sympathize with her plight. No one did though. No one, except of course, for Julian. People began to whisper about the brother and sister's unusual relationship, rumors spread. At one point, the servants even found them sleeping in the same bed, so they ran away. For several months, the brother and sister lived as man and wife. And yes, their lifestyle included all of the aspects of a standard marriage. It seems they were happy together, but it couldn't last. In 1603, Julian and Marguerite were caught and tried for adultery and incest, both of which were punishable by death at the time. The siblings were convicted, and in December of that same year, they were beheaded. Today, you can still find their grave in Paris. The tomb reads, "Here lie the brother and sister, you who pass by, do not inquire as to the cause of their death, but go and pray to God for their souls." Folklore often sends us a message, usually wrapped up in drama or wonder or the downright chilling.
