More English Fairy Tales, XLIV. the Pied Piper, sentence 23

She does not, however, give any well-authenticated historical event at Hameln in the thirteenth century which could have plausibly given rise to the legend, nor can I find any in the _Urkundenbuch_ of Hameln (Luneberg, 1883).

Who acts: substratum, I · What happens: not do, give, authenticate, find · To what, where: authenticated historical event, Hameln, thirteenth century, any, Urkundenbuch _
