Cœur de Lion is French and means lion-hearted. He left England for a crusade and asked two of his trusted bishops to govern and keep the status quo. Prince John, Richard’s younger brother was furious and “green with envy” did not mean our seriously delicious Sheriff on Nottingham burger on the next page, no dear reader -it was good ole’ hatred. You can imagine what happened next. Plotting and planning, befriending the wealthy Normans with the people of England only getting poorer thus creating an urgent need for a legend, a hero of sorts.

It was not easy. Robin’s home was burned down and all his family killed by the minions working for Prince John. He survived only because he was exceptionally good with his bow and arrow. He fled into a nearby forest called Sherwood where Robin, Earl of Huntingdon, became Robin Sherwood, later referred to as Robin Hood. In the forest, heart broken and exhausted, Robin makes an oath to help the weak fight the strong and to take from the rich and give to the poor. And that is how, many centuries later a small restaurant in Kloof Street Cape Town makes a similar pledge, to uplift and help those without means with every bite you eat.

A DAME FOR OUR HERO ady Marion only starts appearing in Robin Hood tales round about the 16th century, but we do feel that a love affair between the daughter of the Sheriff of Nottingham and Robin, the outlaw, is too good to leave out! Just imagine our superb Salad and sumptuous Dessert section secretly, or maybe not so secretly, meeting up in the same order; and who can blame you, they are both heavenly! So the most recent legend has it Marion was forced to marry a not-so-gentleman by the name Guy in order to keep another political agenda on the table.

  • Volume 1, Issue 1 2017 ROBIN HOOD and the FOREST LAWS

    Volume 1, Issue 1 2017 ROBIN HOOD and the FOREST LAWS

    Te Bulletin of the International Association for Robin Hood Studies Volume 1, Issue 1 2017 ROBIN HOOD AND THE FOREST LAWS Stephen Knight The University of Melbourne The routine opening for a Robin Hood film or novel shows a peasant being harassed for breaking the forest laws by the brutal, and usually Norman, authorities. Robin, noble in both social and behavioral senses, protects the peasant, and offends the authorities. So the hero takes to the forest with the faithful peasant for a life of manly companionship and liberal resistance, at least until King Richard returns and reinstates Robin for his loyalty to true values, social and royal, which are somehow congruent with his forest freedom. The story makes us moderns feel those values are age-old. But this is not the case. The modern default opening is not part of the early tradition. Its source appears to be the very well-known and influential Robin Hood and his Merry Men by Henry Gilbert (1912). The apparent lack of interest in the forest laws theme in the early ballads might simply be taken as reality: Barbara A. Hanawalt sees a strong fit between the early Robin Hood poems and contemporary outlaw actuality. Her detailed analysis of what outlaws actually did against the law indicates that robbery and assault were normal and that breach of the forest laws was never an issue.1 The forest laws themselves are certainly medieval.2 They were famously imposed by the Norman kings, they harassed ordinary people, stopping them using the forests for their animals and as a source for food and timber, and Sherwood was one of the most aggressively policed forests—but this did not cross into the early Robin Hood materials.
  • Robin Hood and Little John [England]

    Robin Hood and Little John [England]

    LEGENDS Robin Hood and Little John England Robin Hood is a perennial favorite. The first known reference to the popularity of his legend is in William Langland’s 1377 Piers Plowman in which a lazy priest named Sloth admits that he doesn’t really know the mass, “But I can [know] rymes of Robyn Hood...” (Cited in Barber, 1999, p.504; Leach, 1955, p.13.) Howard Pyle, however, was one of the first writers to put his many ballads together as a continuous story for children. For the full introduction to this story and for other stories, see The Allyn & Bacon Anthology of Traditional Literature edited by Judith V. Lechner. Allyn & Bacon/Longman, 2003 From: The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood of Great Renown in Nottinghamshire by Howard Pyle. New York: Grosset & Dunlap. 1946. pp. 20-28. Up rose Robin Hood one merry morn when all the birds were singing blithely among the leaves, and up rose all his merry men, each fellow washing his head and hands in the cold brown brook that leaped laughing from stone to stone. Then said Robin: “Four fourteen days we have seen no sport, so now I will go abroad to seek adventures forthwith. But tarry ye, my merry men all, here in the greenwood, only see that ye mind well my call. Three blasts upon the bugle horn I will blow in my hour of need; then come quickly, for I shall want your aid.” So saying, he strode away though the leafy forest glades until he had come to the verge of Sherwood.

    Mikee Delony Abilene Christian University Peer-Reviewed Robin

    A REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S PUBLICATIONS IN ROBIN HOOD SCHOLARSHIP Mikee Delony Abilene Christian University Peer-reviewed Robin Hood scholarship published in 2015 includes two single-author books, two edited book chapters, and eight journal articles. These publications examine specific texts from the matter of Robin Hood, providing new approaches to familiar texts and further exploration of less-familiar materials. Many scholars also comment on the tradition’s capacity for seemingly endless adaptation and highlight the similar ideological and political threads woven through the materials. Shining an academic light upon five centuries of Robin Hood texts that celebrate political resistance and public activism against oppression takes on new importance in light of contemporary global resistance to government overreach and systemic oppression. Since Robin Hood scholarship also tends to resist categorization, I have loosely grouped these reviews by literary chronology and genre. GENERAL STUDIES In Reading Robin Hood: Content, Form, and Reception in the Outlaw Myth,1 Stephen Knight revisits the Robin Hood literary tradition from his position as one of the early pioneers in the field of Robin Hood studies. In his survey, which ranges from medieval oral ballads to twenty- first film and television adaptations, Knight notes the multivalent, “unhierarchial, nonlinear” (10) nature of the tradition and suggests that Deleuze and Guattari’s rhizomatic “model of multiplicity” (234) might best describe the “various, porous, [and] richly labile” legend (10). Writing that the Robin Hood tradition “renews itself in turns of current political forces and media of dissemination and consistently has as scant a respect for literary and formalistic authority as it has for social and legal forces of order” (253), Knight celebrates the characteristics that prevent the tradition from achieving canonical status at the same time they have remained relevant for centuries.
