- Short introduction We hope that this wiki will in due course come to live up to its somewhat grand name. It is called 'International' because in addition to the vast amount of material that exists in English, we intend to add information about materials in other languages such as translations of ballads, secondary literature, children's fiction, literature on foreign analogues of Robin Hood etc. Arguably 'Bibliography' is a misnomer as the site already includes a wealth of all sorts of information one would not normally expect to find in a bibliography, but the bibliographical aspect is in all cases taken quite seriously, and there is already a wiki named the Robin Hood Wiki, so another name had to be found for the site.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-28. Revised by … Allusion Source notes Fan. is the character Fansy. Magn. is the character Magnificence. Scattergood notes that "Friar Tuck is mentioned in two early ballads of Robin Hood ([...] Child [...] Nos. 145, 147) and in two early fragmentary plays. But no incident such as that mentioned here when he preached 'out of the pylery hole' appears in them. He was, however, a character in May games [...] Perhaps such a pillory incident occurred in a May game." op. cit., p. 436, note to l. 357. IRHB comments Magnificence was probably written sometime in the period 1515-21. Paula Neuss in her excellently annotated edition compares Fancy's being hauled to the pillory to this passage from the play of Saint John the Evangelist: Skelton, John 1980a, p. 88, n. to l. 356 By our lady! I will no more go to Coventry, For there knaves set me on the pillory. And threw eggs at my head [p. 361:] So sore that my nose did bleed Of white wine gallons …4 KB (648 words) - 18:38, 7 January 2021

- The site of Robin Hood's Well. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-10-15. Revised by … Robin Hood's Well a.k.a. St Ann's Well was located in the north-eastern neighbourhood of Nottingham now known as St Ann, an area that was once part of Sherwood Forest and retained a bucolic character until the mid-19th century. Nottingham Hidden History Team: St Ann's Well by Joe Earp. The well, known by several names, played an important role in Nottingham civic life over the centuries. From the late 1550s on, borough records list expenses relating to a procession of the mayor and members of the civic administration, wearing their official liveries and accompanied by musicians, to the well for a festive dinner in or outside the adjacent woodward's house. The history of the well from the mid-16th century to its destruction in the late 19th century is intertwined with that of the woodward's house, so both are treated together here. Names of the well The well is perhaps referred to in …29 KB (4,728 words) - 03:53, 12 February 2021
