The mysterious princess of the 19th century who managed to deceive the whole city

On April 3, 1817, a young woman, from nowhere, appeared in Almonddsbury, a small town just a few miles away from Bristol, England.

She was dressed in an outfitted black dress and scarf and wore a turban on her head. It seemed very confused to travel for a long time. I carried with me a few things, including soap and several basic hygiene items that were wrapped in some material. The most interesting thing was that she spoke an exotic language that nobody in the town could understand.
The locals were astounded. Thinking she was an ordinary woman who asked her to take her to a local shelter. But instead of accepting it, the guard was questioned and sent to local judge Samuel Voral in his official house known as Nol Haus. The judge again called his dentist who was from Greece and knew many Mediterranean languages to try to translate where the woman actually is.When, after several attempts, they tried to convince a woman of gestures to show some sort of identification, she only emptied the pockets in which she had several coins.Vorall doubted much, but his wife was sorry for the woman and was also fascinated by her sudden appearance in the otherwise boring town.After her persistence, the mysterious woman was sent to spend the night at the local inn. When she arrived there, her behavior became even more strange. She did not want to eat and drink only tea, she was telling some strange prayer and she hid her eyes with one hand.
She recognized an image of pineapple that stood on the wall of the inn, so the locals began to think that it came from a distant tropical country. When it came time to lie down, she did not want to sleep on the bed, but she lay down to sleep on the floor.
After a long night for staff at the inn, Mrs. Vorall returned her wife to Nol Haus again. Until then, it was found that the name of the woman was Karabu, because she kept repeating the same name pointing to her all the time. But Mrs. Vorall was bored, the woman looked like an ordinary beggar and she decided to hand her over to a local prison, where she was arrested for trampling.
A few days later, the news about the unknown, mysterious stranger in Almonddsbury spread. More and more people began to visit and speak in different languages ​​in the hope that someone will discover where she actually comes from. 10 days later, a Portuguese sailor, Manuel Eyesso, who accidentally stayed in Bristol, visited Karabu. He understood her language as a mix of many languages ​​and began to translate her outstanding story.Karabu was not a beggar but a princess from the island of Java Island in the Indian Ocean. She was kidnapped by pirates who held her captive until she escaped when she jumped into a canal in Bristol. Since then she spent 6 weeks sifting and wandering before she was found in Almonddsbury.
The story was unusual and Mrs. Vorall was very excited. She decided that the Karabu comes from a royal family and needs to receive royal treatment. Karabu began living in Nol Haus and a big party was held in her honor for about 10 weeks.
The story of Princess Karabu continued to expand through the media and her description was printed in a local newspaper in Bristol.
A copy of the newspaper accidentally got to a guest house owned by Mrs. Nile who recognized the woman. But not as a kidnapped princess, but as her guest who once stayed at a boarding house named Mary Baker. Princess Karabu was a huge fraud.
Mrs Nil's words reached the house of Mrs. Vorall. She was initially skeptical of the story, but she decided to take Princess Karabu to the board where she lied that she should draw a portrait. Just minutes after they arrived at the boarding house, it was already certain that Princess Karabu was a cheater.
Mary Baker confessed in tears. She was born in a small village about 70km from Bristol, her parents kicked her out of the home when she was very young, worked a few things, but she could not earn enough to find her on the street where she was forced to ask.
Then she began to create the story that she was a stranger because she realized that in this way people were more pity and more money. So she invented the story of Princess Karabu and invented a completely incomprehensible language that entertained children in Mrs Nil's home.

She used her innovativeness to deceive the entire city. After the whole story about Baker was revealed, she was back in all media. But instead of being opposed by the media, they wrote her story as a triumph of the working class over the aristocracy. Baker became a hero, did not have any knowledge, money or status and managed to deceive the greatest nobles.
Even Mrs. Vorall respected Baker's success. Although initially angry, she began to sympathize with Baker's true story for a while. She continued to help her make her life and collected enough money to help her move to Philadelphia and to have a new beginning.
When she arrived in America, Baker managed to translate her fame into a show in New York where she played the character of Princess Karabu. A few years later she returned to England and had the same show in London, but it was not very successful.
She eventually stayed to live in Bristol where she sold leeches to the local ambulance. She did it for about 30 years before she died of a heart attack.
No one has learned the story of the Portuguese sailor and how he understood the fictional language, unless he was an accomplice.
