 | | This book's two-headed boy is really a pair of conjoined twins named Lazarus and Joannes Baptista Colloredo, who were born in 1617. |
 | | Where Lazarus was a tall, handsome young man, his poor brother Joannes was malformed, with a single leg and an inability to speak or move much. |
 | | The two toured Europe, were received by none other than King Charles I of England, and even escaped a sentence of death when Lazarus struck a man on the head, killing him--it was determined that to kill Lazarus would be unfair to Joannes, who was innocent of the crime! |
