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.

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.

The gatehouse By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … The gatehouse at Kirklees is where, according to tradition, Robin Hood shot his last arrow and died. He was to be buried where the arrow landed (see Robin Hood's Grave ). The gatehouse is the only part of Kirklees Priory left, and it seems to have been extensively rebuilt during the Elizabethan period. At a talk he gave to members of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society in 1906, the then owner of the Kirklees estate, George John Armytage, had this to say about the gatehouse: There is a mention of an … broad, by the beck side.

Mr. Bilson, however, thinks that this is a post-dissolution building. It has evidently been built at two different periods, the …

Robin Hood (Marchington Cliff). By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-10-14. Revised by … Allusion À propos of the bloodhounds, a good story is told of how they were hunting some deerstealers, and how they came to a check at some cottages by three cross roads — possibly the Robin Hood at the top of Marchington Cliff. When their attendants came up to them they found the hounds sneezing and whining, with their heads up, nor could they be induced to try for the scent. At last it was discovered that the road had been freely sprinkled with black pepper, which effectually foiled the line, so that the deerstealers escaped. Randall, James Lowndes 1901a, vol. I, p. 46.

It is not clear when it acquired the name Little John Mill, but this had certainly happened by 1870. See MS Sources section below. A Robin Hood Mill in the vicinity was also built on land owned by the Armytage family of Kirklees Hall. Since they owned the land on which Robin Hood's alleged grave is found, it is a reasonable guess that they suggested these names for the mills. Today Little John Mill is an industrial estate with …

Southampton, the homeport of the Petit John. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-04-22. Revised by … The Petit John was a royal ship, of a type known as a balinger or ballinger, whose homeport was Southampton. Figuring in the records from 1416 to 1423, this is the oldest vessel known to have been named 'Little John'. in his review of the work in which the records are found – they are cited below – J. R. Maddicott noted, as if this interpretation were certain, that 'the historian of popular culture may note the appearance in the accounts of a ship called the Little John, a rare and early allusion to the Robin Hood ballads'. Maddicott, John Robert 1982a. Apart from a few printed in appendixes the records are in fact inventories, not accounts, and not only can the bare mention of the name 'Little John' not be taken as an allusion to ballads, it is in fact also doubtful if the vessel was named after the traditional character, something Maddicott could hardly have failed to notice …

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-24. Revised by … This 1991 Warner Bros film staring Kevin Costner was the once-in-a-generation Robin Hood film of its time, a classic even if it did not quite reach the level of popularity of the 1922 film starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr. or the 1938 film starring Erroll Flynn, but fewer films have done so in the post World War II period, for with so many new films constantly appearing, any one film is less likely to grab the attention of the daily media and keep it for more than a few days or perhaps weeks.

For most of that period, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire formed one bailiwick. Unless otherwise indicated, sheriffs in office before 1449 can be assumed to have served this larger bailiwick. From that year and until 1835 there were two sheriffs: one for Nottingham itself and one for the rest of Nottinghamshire.
