I do like Longchamp’s big chain of office btw. Looks like he’s about to announce the General Election result for the Camborne & Redruth constituency..

With that hair/beard combo, I’m surprised Richard didn’t end up in the Average White Band

The Honour of Lancaster was lost a long time ago, mate.

The Earl of Huntingdon at this time was the younger brother of the King of Scotland.

How did that come about?


Maud, daughter and heiress of Waltheof, the first earl (created just before the conquest and continuing afterwards) married David I, King of Scotland, as her second husband. The earls seem to have given up the earldom when they became king, but this one, another David, never inherited the kingdom - although the later claims of Robert Bruce and John Balliol to the kingdom came through him.

There, that's more than you ever wanted to know. Sorry.

So really he should be McRobin of Sherwood.


McRobbie? My great-grandmother was a McRobbie.

What's happened to them wearing green? Kendal was famous for making green fabric back then, apparently. Stuff Lincoln.

They haven't gone to hide in Sherwood forest yet. They should be in stone coloured clothes....

Doesn’t look like they’re attracting many visitors yet. Need a lakeside walk and falconry display, and ‘Kids Eat Free’ in the restaurant

How's that ballad coming along, CB?

I keep thinking that lute player is going to break out into 'Lord of the Dance'.

Butts. And Axe-throwing (but not combined).

Not sure about the butts. It'd have to be over-18s only.

Just worked out where I recognise Prince J from. He was in a mid-70s Play for Today about a school rock band (with a stupid name I can’t remember) who suddenly make it big, then see it all go t*ts up very rapidly. Will have to have a rummage on YouTube.

Nottingham will get egg bound eating 3 of those.

He needs some soldiers with those eggs. But they’re probably all on Crusade.

Longchamp quarreled a lot with King John during Richard's absence, and at one point fled to the continent disguised as a woman. A sailor at Dover, mistaking him for a prostitute, accosted him and got quite a shock when he tried to feel him up!

I knew his name sounded familiar. I will have to dig out my copy of 1066 and all that.

That cross on King Dick’s chest will be a handy target for the Saracens

If you ever need a Squire, always take Chris. No or Yes?

Richard calls Robin my lord, but Robin doesn't call him that way. I suppose it doesn't matter. Just an interesting fact.

It's very rude of Robin.

Psul Darrow is really good in this. And the beard makes him scrummier than usual.

Like the uniform red coats instead of camouflage in a later age.
