Revised by … A Gest of Robyn Hode, fytte seven and part of fytte eight (sts. 354-432), details the meeting Robin Hood and "Edwarde, our comly kynge" Gest, st. 353:4.. The latter digsuises himself as an abbot and goes to the greenwood in order to meet with the outlaw. Reverberations of this scene can be found in many later accounts, including Walter Scott's Ivanhoe and many films. The author of the Gest – dare we suggest the poet John Skelton? This is suggested by, inter alia, a satirical allusion to John Skelton and jests of Robin Hood in Alexander Barclay's English rendering of the Ship of Fools. – followed an old and tried recipe when he let the king don disguise for the occasion, for there are many earlier tales, from Britain and elsewhere, about the meeting of a incognito king and one of his subjects. Sometimes the king is in disguise, sometimes he is not, but the subject (initially) fails to recognize him. Tales …2 KB (333 words) - 02:08, 1 June 2022

Gover, John Eric Bruce 1936a. p. 122, where no source or date is cited for the farm. However, beyond the name there is nothing to connect Cloudesly Bush with Adam Bell's companion.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-15. Revised by … William Wallace (1272-1305) is a Scottish national hero who was given the title of Guardian of Scotland after he led Scottish forces to victory over an English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge (Sep. 11, 1297). 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. Essentially describing Wallace as a guerilla leader this poem bears similarities to the Gest and other early outlaw literature as to themes, motifs and overall tone.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-15. Revised by … Hereward the Wake (c. 1035–1072), Hereward the Outlaw, Hereward the Exile or Hereward the Saxon, was a leader of Anglo-Danish resistance against the Norman invasion. His base was in the Isle of Ely and surrounding areas, North Cambridgeshire, South Lincolnshire and West Norfolk. The primary sources for our knwoledge of Hereward and his deeds are the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Domesday Book, Liber Eliensis and, especially, the Gesta Herwardi. Written in the first third of the 12th cent., the latter was based on a now lost Old English text. It details the birth, upbringing and career of Hereward. The tale is a mixture of fantastic events in distant lands and more down to earth accounts of guerilla warfare in the Fens. In the mix are also tales of trickery, ruse and disguise that often foreshadow the tales of Robin Hood and other outlaws.

Revised by … Fulk Fitz-Warin III (c. 1160-1258) was a Marcher Lord and heir to Whittington Castle in Shropshire, who in 1200, when he was denied the right to inherit the castle, went into rebellion against King John. He was pardoned and reinstated as lord of Whittington in 1203. His deeds and those of his ancestors were the subject of a 13th century Anglo-Norman narrative poem that was part ancestral romance, part outlaw tale. This is lost, but a very close 13th century prose paraphrase survives. There was also an ME metrical romance which was still extant in the mid-16th century, when John Leland made excerpts from it, supplementing it, where a couple of leaves were missing, with the Anglo-Norman version. The story of Fulk's outlawry, as told in these literary sources, is not only very interesting in it own right but also has many clear, sometimes very close, parallels to the early Robin Hood ballads, especially the Gest.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-09-20. Revised by … Robin Hood's accepting the Virgin Mary as surety or "borrow" for a loan in the first fytte of A Gest of Robyn Hode See sts. 65-66. is inspired by a miracle tale that was quite well known during the later Middle Ages. Most often in such tales – called "miracles" – the divine surety is the Virgin Mary, but tales are also found in which God, Jesus, a saint or even a cross acts as guarantor. In these tales, the divine surety pays the debt when the human debtor is unable to. There is a related type of tale, a humorous variant, in which the creditor recovers his outlay from a monk or priest in his capacity as human representative of the divine surety. Such analogues are discussed briefly by Child Child, Francis James 1882a, vol. III, pp. 51-52, 53-54. and at length by Clawson. Clawson, William Hall 1909a, pp. 25-42.

- King James and the Tinker a.k.a. The King & Tinker. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-09-18. Revised by … The public house now known as King & Tinker, formerly (or more fully?) King James and the Tinker, on Whitewebbs Lane in Enfield, just north of Whitewebbs Park, very likely owes its name to an early modern tale of the king and subject type. The pub, which is still going strong, now with the slightly snappier form of the name, was in existence by 1861, according to the excellent Pub Wiki, which has data on publicans and residents for 1861–1937 as well as old photos and postcards.
