I learned that recent scholarship considers the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin spiriting away +- 130 children to be essentially true. It is a story of emigration rather than rats, pedophilia, plague, or magic. It seems lands in the East had been depopulated by the Mongols and young people in over-populated Germant sought a better life in Transylvania etc...
