The roots of the child's nursery rhyme is in France and the Jack and Jill referred to are Louis XVI who was beheaded (lost his crown) followed by his Queen Marie Antoinette (who came tumbling after). The actual beheadings occurred in 1793. The first publication date for the lyrics of this nursery rhyme is 1795.
