What's the true dark history behind famous nursery rhymes?

As I delved into the true dark history behind famous nursery rhymes, I was surprised to discover sinister origins behind seemingly innocent songs. For instance, "Ring Around the Rosie" is believed to be about the Great Plague, while "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" may actually refer to the ruthless Queen Mary I of England. Even the beloved "Humpty Dumpty" has connections to a devastating historical event – the English Civil War. As I continued my research, it became clear that these nursery rhymes were more about preserving history and cautionary tales than simply entertaining children. I can't help but wonder what other dark secrets are hidden within the verses we've all grown up with.
