The theory that Humpty Dumpty was a cannon used in the siege of Colchester in 1648 during the English Civil War is often stated as fact.[2] However, the additional 'discovered' verse which reveals this meaning was actually written as a spoof for the Oxford Magazine in 1956 by Professor David Daube.[3] The story was originally attributed to Gloucester and has no substance in fact, despite its adoption by the tourist industry of Colchester.
