- Sherwood Forest. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … Sherwood Forest is the home of the outlaws in about half of the early tales and most later sources. The first source to put Robin Hood in Sherwood is 1401 - Anonymous - Lincoln Cathedral MS 132 (c. 1401-25) (see Allusions below). The place-name is first recorded in A.D. 955 (as "scirwuda"). The form "Sherewoode" is found 1325-1500. The most probable etymology is "wood belonging to the shire". See Gover, John Eric Bruce 1940a, p. 10; Smith, Albert Hugh 1970b, pt. II, pp. 110-11.

- 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, 2015-07-23. Revised by … It is hoped that the list of historical sheriffs included below will in time become complete for the medieval period (up to 1500). 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. The two boroughs mentioned at Nottingham City Council: Previous Sheriffs Of Nottingham and Nottingham in the Middle Ages (600 – 1499) should be two shrievalties or sheriff's bailiwicks. There was always only one borough of Nottingham. I am grateful to David Crook for pointing this out. More sheriffs will be added to the list when found. The list is based on both primary and secondary sources, little attempt having been made to verify the information or resolve apparent conflicts. The …72 KB (9,913 words) - 00:49, 28 April 2023
