67. The toddler who eluded the tax-collector....

His birth saved the family from certain ruin, as, according to an ancient law, creditors could not seize the bed of a pregnant woman or a mother with a newborn child. When bailiffs entered the family home, just as Eugenia (his mother) went into labor, the family protected their most valuable assets by piling them on top of the expectant mother!

Who was born thus?
