The writers seemed to be replicating the middle ages during Rumbles stories but EQ and Snow are much later in time more like the 1700s in costumes and environment.
In the middle ages, the lord of the manor had the right to be the first with a serfs bride ( virgins) or the pick of any woman in the village or farms. It was the custom and many babies were born as bastards from that practice.
The Dukes/ Lords of the manor and rulers have right over life and death over the peasants. They often would kick a farmer off the fields turning them out whenever they wanted. It was much akin to slavery. There were more haneous practices. I think the story will evolve that Rumple’s wife was taken by the lord of the manor as was the custom and that is why Bae is considered a bastard… he probably born 9 months or less after their marriage. Maybe Rumples wife was angry the Rumple could not / would not protect her and that is why she bailed.

Very interesting thoughts. In this context, I could see Baelfire possibly being a bastard child. It also lessens my sympathy for the knights Rumpel killed at the end of “Desperate Souls.”

Great theory! This could add onto why Rumpel was overly protective of Bae. He was trying to make up for his past but ultimetly failed agian. Plus, now Rumpel has Belle to protect.

Oh, Nonnie. You just broke my heart with this theory. I hope it isn’t true. That would be far too heartbreaking to see. But unfortunately, I think you may be right. 😥

Good point. The entire village was constantly reminding Rumpel of his cowardice. I could easily see the duke taking away his wife just as another insult to his manhood.
As much as I love Rumpel, I think if this actually happened to his wife that it would make for a better love story between him and Belle.
It would show the viewers how hard it was to accept Belle’s love because of everything that had happened to him.
My theory is Rumpel is Bae’s biological father. Rumpel’s wife had an affair but she and Rumpel were still sleeping together. Bae was born and the affair ended. Rumpel found out about the affair and the thought probably crossed his mind as to whether or not Bae was really his, however, Rumpel loved Bae anyway so it didn’t matter whether or not Bae was his. Rumpel raised Bae so would always be his father regardless of if they were biologically related.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixWhat if Rumple took Bae as a baby, like he was going to take Cinderella’s child? He IS known for making deals to get babies 😉
but he didn’t start that until after he became the dark one. I don’t think he would have the guts to kidnap a kid unless he had the power to back it up.
