General Robin Hood Discussions

Robin Hood Conference

feeds@yuku.com (Allen W Wright) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 08:42:11 GMT

My right arm is in a sling, and so I'll be brief for the moment. The conference was fun. Highlights (aside meeting friends old and new) include the lute performance by Paul O'Dette, the 1912 Robin Hood silent film by Eclair and a restored print of the 1922 Fairbanks film that was colour-tinted (but far less garishly than the initial DVD release, before sound made it hard to splice film for the dye, most films weren't strictly black-and-white) with a live recreation of the original...

Robin Hood, wasnt he the man who stole from the rich and gave to the needy and poor ? I need to know, im very confused. I may post later topics on him, but I dont understand the Little John part...

New Robin Hood movie on ET

feeds@yuku.com (WoodsyLadyM) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 08:25:19 GMT

For those of you who live in the U.S. the new Robin Hood movie will be featured on Entertainment Tonight today, or whenever it's scheduled in your area. I'm sure it's a piece of fluff but I'll watch anyway. I saw Cate Blanchett in the previews too and they show her with dark hair.

In other news I was surprised to hear that Eileen Atkins replaced Vanessa Redgrave as Eleanor [or is that Elinor] of Aquitaine. Redgrave pulled out due to her daughter Natasha's death....

Sorry that I've been insanely busy for the past couple months. But I wanted to pop by and remind everyone of the upcoming Robin Hood conference in Rochester, NY from Oct. 22-25, 2009.

There will be a special showing of the 1912 silent Robin Hood movie - the earliest surviving one. (I know a couple were filmed earlier) with live music...

Russell Crowe's 'Robin The Beheader'

feeds@yuku.com (Clement of the Glen) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 10:25:41 GMT

I have recently posted the Russell Crowe interview about his latest Robin Hood film on my blog and wondered if any of the members of this forum have seen it?

Crowe claims to have prepared himself for the role by reading approximately twenty to thirty books on the...

There are some very interesting records now coming online.

This man, we could have taken his use of the name 'Little John' as being evidence of the Robin Hood legend but from the context, it looks as if this name had no more...

Rob'tus Hode alias dono Rob'tus Dore de Waddesley

feeds@yuku.com (Graham for PM) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 08:55:33 GMT

'Robert Hode also known as Robert Dore of Waddsley' Pardon Roll 1382

This is the correct translation of this, it is 'dono' not 'domo'-lord.

Graham, I think that this man really could be your 'Robin Hood of Loxley, Hallam as many of the men pardoned in the 1382 Pardon Roll for participating in the riot in York in Nov/Dec 1380 can be cross referenced as being 'freemen of York', Alan de Bradeley, Richard de Cottingham and others. But,...

The many Robin Hoods

feeds@yuku.com (Graham for PM) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 08:44:49 GMT

I would just like to bring this website to the fore as I think that 'Crocodile Rob' has put these pages together very, very well, including copies of some of the original records.

Hello, I wondered what some of our friends on the other side of the pond, Allen Dubya (sorry Allen, can never resist that one), Presterjohn (US?), the fair maiden Lady Archer would/will make of this record? A Sagamore is a chief of...

Maid Marion

feeds@yuku.com (Jmull) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:53:28 GMT

My favorite character was O'Ferrell as Maid Marion. I have been trying to find out more about her in her last years. She lived in Monaco where she died in 1999. Was she buried in England or in Monaco? My wife and I are planning to travel to Europe and I would love to see where she lived and visit here final resting place if possible. We are also going to visit Richard Green's home in England. Anyone have any details or info that would help?

Something fun...

feeds@yuku.com (lady archer) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:19:58 GMT

Thinking about Robin Hood, I had some fun making adjustments from Louis Rhead's piece, "Robin shoots with Sir Guy":

Thought you all would get a kick out of it.

Hereward the Wake, etc.

feeds@yuku.com (lady archer) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:39:04 GMT

There are variants to the legend, as we are aware of, and with all the fictional literary works illustrating Robin Hood as a nobleman (related to the Earl of Huntingdon), it makes you wonder about the likelihood of what sort of man he was. Who was this outlaw, this wolfshead who inspired ballads? If he existed (and is there a soul among the Blue Boar members who truly believes he didn't?), what is the likely truth to the reality of the man, rather than the modern-thought legend and the...

Lady of the Forest by Jennifer Roberson

feeds@yuku.com (lady archer) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:49:27 GMT

I know it's been discussed before, but I finally picked this book up and am nearly halfway through it. Honestly, it's a fabulous read, and probably the best Robin Hood novel I've read thus far.

Has anyone else enjoyed this book, too? I just can't seem to put it down.

Hi Allen...

It's too much hard work to be insightful about this. Cynical snark is so much easier.

Robin Hood in Music

feeds@yuku.com (lady archer) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 16:19:18 GMT

I wrote a similar post back in the day (too lethargic to look it up), but I found this bit on the 'net that was just fascinating to me, as I have an interest in Medieval folk and Renaissance music: http://www.musicweb-international.com/classRev/2001/Sept01/Robin_Hood.htm

Songs about Robin Hood through the ages include: Ah Robin (Cornyshe), Robin Hood and the...

Bound by Honor: An erotic novel of Maid Marian

feeds@yuku.com (lady archer) — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 09:52:07 GMT
Has anyone read this one by Colette Gale? It's supposed to be a smutty romp involving Marian and Robin Hood, of course.
