2. The Hungarian sisters
Helen and Judith of Szony, most often referred to as ‘The Hungarian Sisters’, were born in Hungary in 1701. The appearance of the twins baffled everyone and doctors soon decided that they were born conjoined due to their mother’s overactive imagination during pregnancy.
Since
Helen was born first (Judith was born three hours later) she was
considered stronger, as well as more intelligent and attractive.
Understanding the need to take advantage of their situation, the twins
soon turned to music and began performing at various shows and
exhibitons throughout Europe.
However,
their career was not to last for long. Shortly after entering a
convent, Judith died of an unclassified brain trauma. Helen died a
couple of hours later.
