    Not to mention Triar F u c k .........it all seems so obvious to me that it was going on in plain sight.

    Didn’t have many gays in those days! I reckon Maid Marion loved a bit of rough!

    One of favourite programmes when I was growing up along with William Tell. I actually visited Altdorf in Switzerland where legend says that he shot the apple off his son's head.

    I have downloaded another book on Kindle called Wolfs Head, by Stephen A Mackay, ( I'm sure someone of that name used to argue with me on Facebook Albion boards.
    This is the best book by far I have read on the subject, based on actual historical events during the reign of Edward 11. The old ballads of Robin Hood are from here, he was a yeoman from Yorkshire and was an outlaw in Barnsdale Forest. He took part in the Lancastrian revolt and later served in the Kings Army before absconding again.
    Long bows were the weapon of choice in Edward 11 time they didn't exist in Lionheart's era.
    He was outlawed and fled to Barnsdale Forest with his wife Matilda, she bit off a traitors c ock and Robin killed him with his sword, then they tied him on a horse, stuffed his c ock in his mouth and held it there by tying a strip of cloth round his face and sent him on his way to Nottingham.
    This is the origin of the legend imo, an ordinary yeoman who became an outlaw. In Richard the first time there was a nobleman called Odo, who lost his lands and was outlawed, to be pardoned and had his lands restored later.
    When the story became popular with the middle classes they wanted a hero a little more noble than a yeoman so added the two stories together.
    Sherwood isn't mentioned in any of the stories until the 1700's.
    Of course any outlaw later would have been called a Robin Hood.
