Born with Teeth

Journal Title: Peer Reviewed Journal of Forensic & Genetic Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 5

Abstract

Such structures have been described by Titus Livius in cuneiform written texts in 59 B.C. In 23 B.C. Caius Plinius Secundus the Elder thought that boys born with teeth were likely to have a bright future, while on the contrary, girls with natal teeth (= name given to those structures) were likely to live a disastrous life. Are said to be born with teeth: Hannibal, Robertus Diabolus, Richard III of England, Carlos Prince of Asturias, ill-fated son of Philip II of Spain, Mazarin, Louis XIII of France, Louis XIV of France, Mozart, Mirabeau, Danton, Napoleon, Loulou, son of Napoleon III. Following that train of thought, allusions can be found in famous literary works, like in Shakespeare’s Richard III (1623), as shown in the following extracts: “[...] they say my uncle grew so fast that he could gnaw on a crust at two hours old [...]” or “[...] a hellhound [Richard III] [...] that had his teeth before his eyes [...]” Henri IV of France is said to have been born with teeth. “As soon as Henri IV was born, his grandfather rubbed his lips with garlic and put a drop of wine in his mouth.” The child is said to have had eight successive nurses, which is one less than Louis XIV of France.
