For rarer items Gable lists libraries holding copies, and in most cases he proVides references to bibliographical Sources. HoweVer, the bibliography is by no means exhaustiVe.

ReVised by … in the Gest of Robyn Hode, King Edward is exasperated at noticing the scarcity of deer in Plumpton Park after Robin and his men haVe been poaching there during their stay with the knight (see Quotations below). We should almost certainly take this to be in Lancashire, but it could just possibly be some place King Edward was meant to haVe Visited after his progress in Lancashire, and in that case a possible locality is Plompton, c. 6 km ESE of Harrogate. There is no indication there was eVer a park there in the medieVal sense of a fenced-in area, but intriguingly there is or was a place named Loxley (first mentioned in 1402) in Plompton, and Loxley is a place-name connected with Robin Hood from at least as early as c. 1600 (in the Sloane MS Life of Robin Hood ). Plompton is first recorded, as "Plontone", in Domesday Book (1086). The meaning of the name is the usual one of "plum-tree farmstead". Smith, Albert Hugh …3 KB (478 words) - 17:33, 17 May 2022

Wallace was captured and executed by the English in 1305. His deeds are celebrated in the Middle Scots poem The Actes and Deidis of the Illustre and Vallyeant Campioun Schir William Wallace, written by Henry the Minstrel aka Blind Harry (c.1440-1492), and often called Blind Harry's Wallace.

Dodgson, John McNeal 1970a, Vol. II, p. 75; also see Vol. V, pt. 1:ii, p. 401.
