  • By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-07-22. 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 …

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. Editions Translations English ⁃ Swanton, Michael 1998a ⁃ Swanton, Michael …

  • By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-12. 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. Miracles with the Virgin as guarantor are known in Latin (several MSS of the 13th century), French, …

  • 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.

  • By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-09-02. Revised by … The ballad to which Child gave the title Erlinton exists in three versions, one of which, the C version, features Robin Hood. It is almost certainly a literary forgery. Plot Robin Hood meets a fair damsel, a tanner's daughter; they become lovers (straightaway), but soon the girl's two brothers come riding to fetch her home. A sword fight ensues in which Robin kills the elder brother but spares the younger at the girl's entreaty. The two lovers then elope to the forest. The forged C version Child reprints the C version, known as Robin Hood and the Tanner's Daughter, from the edition in 'Gutch's Robin Hood, [which was printed] from a manuscript of Mr Payne Collier, supposed to have been written about 1650'. Child, Francis James 1882a, vol. I, p. 106. As John Payne Collier had been exposed as a literary forger already in the mid-19th century, Collier's sad career is sufficiently well known to require only a reference to: …

  • 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, 2014-09-03. Revised by … The Bold Pedlar and Robin Hood belongs to the large group of mostly late ballads in which the outlaw and/or members of his band accost a stalwart stranger, who usually represents some trade, and engage in a fight with him. In this case the stranger turns out to be a cousin of Robin Hood's named Gamble Gold. As Child notes, this ballad is essentially a traditional version of Robin Hood Newly Revived Child, Francis James 1882a, vol. III, p. 154. and therefore, like it, preserves a distant echo of the tale of Gamelyn. Plot A pedlar with a pack on his back is accosted by Robin Hood and Little John. The latter asks him what he is carrying. The pedlar says his pack is full of suits of green silk and silken bow-strings. Little John wants half of it. The pedlar says he can have it all if he can make him yield an inch. Little John pulls out his sword, and the two fight. Taunting them, Robin says he could find a smaller man who could …

  • Ruins of Chartley Castle. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-10-14. Revised by … Allusion   For aught the writer knows to the contrary, there are very few parks anywhere in England like those two in Staffordshire — Bagot's and Chartley. For where else do you find the park without the house? No doubt there were plenty of others at one time, though in many cases only the name remains without the pales. But Chartley is exactly as it was when the Conqueror came — or many a century before his time, except so far as it is enclosed by its fence, which is said to have been put up in the reign of Henry III., when the white cattle were driven in from the forest.   Its castle, which is now in ruins, was built in 1220, [vol. I, p. 136:] by Richard Blunderville [sic], Earl of Chester, on his return from the Holy Land, and from him descended to William Ferrars, Earl of Derby, whose son Eobert forfeited the estate by his rebellion. He was, however, afterwards allowed to …

  • By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-07-19. Revised by … Allusion IRHB comments First brought to notice by Thomas Percy as long ago as 1765, this remains the earliest literary allusion to Robin Hood. Not only that, it is the first absolutely certain (or certainly relevant) reference of any kind we have to the famous outlaw. The above words are spoken by Sloth, who as a lazy and negligent parish priest personifies one of the seven deadly sins. He prefers "ydel tales at þe Ale" Langland. op. cit., p. 331 (Passus V, l. 403). to God's word. The allusion tells us three things about Robin Hood: ⁃ poems about him existed in 1377 ⁃ they were well-known ⁃ they were regarded as "idle tales", examples of bad (secular) taste. That an author alludes to a literary work or character does not necessarily tell us that the work or character in question was well-known in his time. He may, for instance, have been trying to impress his readers with his knowledge of …

They were subsequently carried by marriage to the family of Devereux, and then to those of Shirley and [p. 334:] Townsend, and lady Northampton gave up all she could of Chartley, namely, the estate to one of her uncles, the then Earl Ferrars, to whose descendants it now belongs.

  • By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-09-12. Revised by … Allusion Source notes Holt includes a reproduction of the MS page. Holt (1982), p. 70. IRHB comments Unusually for an allusion to Robin Hood almost every word in this one is a keyword. As Holt notes, this acrostic is the first mention of Adam Bell and his two comrades. In the parliamentary return for the following year, the scribe "arranged the sureties of the members returned for the county and borough of Wiltshire so that the initials of the names, which were entirely fictional, formed an acrostic making up a benign prayer for the well-being of those representing the local communities at Westminster." Holt (1982), p. 69. Luckily for us, his lyrical efforts the preceding year showed a more popular and secular tendency. There are vague similarities with the first few stanzas of the Gest. With "Robyn hode Inne Grenewode Stode" compare st. 3 1: "Robyn stode in Bernesdale". With "Godeman was hee" compare st. 2 2-3: "I …
