Pre-modern people have no clue what they look like only what people tell them or they just assume they look like the people around them.
Next he tells us the story of Bertrande De Rols, who is 10-years-old, and Martin Guerre, who is 13-years-old. They get married in 1540, have a son in 148, and in 1548 Martin is caught in theft
