A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GiLA.DUATE SCHOOL IN PARTLVL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY 'B J <^n5w Introductory LITTLE less than one hundred years after the death of King John, a Scottish Prince John changed his name, upon his accession to L the and at the request of his nobles, A throne to avoid the ill omen which darkened the name of the English king and of John of France. A century and a half later, King John of England was presented in the first English historical play as the earliest English champion and martyr of that Protestant religion to which the spectators had newly come. The interpretation which thus depicted him influenced in Shakespeare's play, at once the greatest literary presentation of King John and the source of much of our common knowledge of English history. In spite of this, how- ever, the idea of John now in the mind of the person who is no student of history is nearer to the conception upon which the old Scotch nobles acted. According to this idea, John is weak, licentious, and vicious, a traitor, usurper and murderer, an excommunicated man, who was com- pelled by his oppressed barons, with the Archbishop of Canterbury at their head, to sign Magna Charta.

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.
