The site of RobinHood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-18.

As far as I can see, Dodgson, in the first English Place-name Society volume on Cheshire lists this locality under both Macclesfield and Sutton. Under the latter he notes that "Moss End or Robin Hood" is thus labelled on Bryant's 1831 map of Cheshire. Unfortunately the only … is in such low resolution that I have not been able to locate 'Moss End or Robin Hood" on it (see Maps section below), Dodgson, op. cit., vol.

The site of the Robin Hood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-25. Revised by … Includes information kindly contributed by Eric E. Rush. There was a public house named the Robin Hood at the corner of Chipperfield and Sayes Court roads in St Mary Cray, the present address of the site being Scarlet Court. London Pubology: Robin Hood. While there is no evidence of this, it seems likely that the pub's name was inspired either by that of a long defunct pub of the same name in the area, Robin Hood at St Paul's Wood Hill, or that of Robin Hood Shaw c. 850 m to the north-northeast. The pub is included in a (more recently compiled?) 'List of Wenlock Brewery Co. Ltd pubs' as of 1936. London Pubology: Robin Hood, referring to List of Wenlock Brewery Co. Ltd pubs, item No. 174.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-08-21. Revised by … Allusion Source notes Marginal note (MS): "De domino Egidio Argentein". Marginal note (editorial): "Tournament at Stepney, May 28." IRHB comments There is an almost identical entry in the Annales Paulini. Giles Argentine (c.1280-1314) was an illustrious knight who got himself illustriously killed at the battle of Bannockburn. In his time he was – at least in Britain – considered one of the greatest knights in Europe, but he was also a reckless youth who frequently got himself into trouble, now with the law, now with the king, now with the fishermen of London. See Stubbs. loc. cit. for the fishermen, and see Kathryn Warner's blog post about Giles Argentine Kathryn Warner, who has written an excellent biographical blog post about Giles Argentine, renders the Latin "dicebatur" in the chronicle entry as "was crowned". While this may be right, I do not believe it is exactly what the chronicler meant. Ian …

The marker indicates the probable centre of Barnsdale, at whose northern boundary lay Wentbridge. Barnsdale's extent in the west-east direction would have been similar to that north-south. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … Barnsdale was one of Robin Hood's two chief haunts in the medieval and early modern outlaw tradition. Never precisely delimited, it was an area straddling the Great North Road about halfway between Doncaster and Pontefract in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Following Dobson & Taylor (1972), Dobson, Richard Barrie 1972a, see pp. 11-20. modern historians have tended to relocate it to an area somewhat north of its original location. However, a close reading of the Gest of Robyn Hode (see "Location and extent" below) suggest this may not be necessary. The etymology of "Barnsdale" is "Beorn's valley", Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, pt. II, p. 37. Beorn being an OE personal name, which occurs also in other place-names, for instance Barnsley (c. 18 km …
