Episode description
In the late 1800s, a man named Petrus Gonsalvus who was covered in hair due to a condition called hypertrichosis, was forcibly married to a peasant woman as a form of amusement for his aristocratic "owners." They ended up being the real life inspiration for the Beauty and the Beast.
