  • Treacherous 'Saracens' and Integrated Muslims
    TREACHEROUS ‘SARACENS’ AND INTEGRATED MUSLIMS: THE ISLAMIC OUTLAW IN ROBIN HOOD’S BAND AND THE RE-IMAGINING OF ENGLISH IDENTITY, 1800 TO THE PRESENT 1 ERIC MARTONE Stony Brook University [email protected] 53 In a recent Associated Press article on the impending decay of Sherwood Forest, a director of the conservancy forestry commission remarked, “If you ask someone to think of something typically English or British, they think of the Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood… They are part of our national identity” (Schuman 2007: 1). As this quote suggests, Robin Hood has become an integral component of what it means to be English. Yet the solidification of Robin Hood as a national symbol only dates from the 19 th century. The Robin Hood legend is an evolving narrative. Each generation has been free to appropriate Robin Hood for its own purposes and to graft elements of its contemporary society onto Robin’s medieval world. In this process, modern society has re-imagined the past to suit various needs. One of the needs for which Robin Hood has been re-imagined during late modern history has been the refashioning of English identity. What it means to be English has not been static, but rather in a constant state of revision during the past two centuries. Therefore, Robin Hood has been adjusted accordingly. Fictional narratives erase the incongruities through which national identity was formed into a linear and seemingly inevitable progression, thereby fashioning modern national consciousness. As social scientist Etiénne Balibar argues, the “formation of the nation thus appears as the fulfillment of a ‘project’ stretching over centuries, in which there are different stages and moments of coming to self-awareness” (1991: 86).

  • Legends of Robin Hood
    Legends of Robin Hood HOW ROBIN HOOD CAME TO LIVE IN THE GREEN WOOD Many years ago, there lived a king in England. His name was Richard Coeur de Lion. Coeur de Lion is French. It means lion-hearted. It is strange that an English king had a French name. More than a hundred years before this king, a French duke named William came to England. He defeated the English, and became the king of England. He took many Frenchmen or Normans with him. These Normans were all poor but very proud. They came with William to help him fight. He promised to give them money and lands. So Duke William stole lands, houses and money from the Saxon nobles and gave them to the Normans. The Saxon nobles became the servants of the proud Normans. So, there were two races in England. Each spoke their own language. Each hated the other. When Richard became king there was still a great hatred between the two races. Richard Coeur de Lion was a brave and noble man. He loved brave men and noble deeds. He hated all mean and cruel, and the cowards who did them. He was ready to help the weak. Richard himself was not gentle. He was very angry and terrible in battle. He loved to fight with people who were stronger or better armed than himself and never hurt the weak. But Richard did not stay in England. Far over the seas there is a country of Palestine. Christian people in all ages think gratefully of that country.

  • Alana a Dale
    Alana a Dale Alana was born in 1176 on what is now Bulwell Forest Golf Course – then a royal hunting ground – where her father Dale a Dale was a underwoodsman (he planted trees after others had been chopped down for buildings or firewood). The family later moved to oversee planting in Vernon Park in Basford and then Coppice Woods in St Anns. When living in St Ann’s, Alana was one of the original allotment holders at what is now the St Anns Allotments at Hungerhill and would be seen out with her lute (a type of medieval guitar) singing in the fields and lanes of Mapperley top. It is rumoured that both Sneinton Dale and Daleside Road in Sneinton are named after her. At age 17, she began working as a well attendant in Bilborough, which was on the site of what is now Strelley Asda. Alana first met Robin Hood in Clifton where she helped Robin and Will Scarlet save the food that the Sheriff was trying to take from the villagers there. She was with Robin at the Golden Arrow competition at the Forest Rec and wrote one of her most famous songs about it. She also made famous Robin’s fight with Little John and his escape from the Castle through her songs. Alana, with her musical skill, was very popular in the taverns of Nottingham – particularly around the Castle and Brewhouse Yard – singing songs about Robin and many daring deeds to help the people and dumbfound the Sheriff. It was in the Old Market Square, where she would weekly sing her ballads of Robin Hood, before being chased off by the Sherriff’s goons.
