By 1327-8 a crisis point had been reached and a delegation was sent to entreat with the new king Edward III. Edward agreed to dismantle the fortress, however, crucially he retained ownership of the 200 acres. It was a very hollow victory for the common man. Perhaps 50 years later, we get the first ever reference to the heroic outlaw Robin Hood fighting his fight for the common man of Sherwood Forest. It can be surely no accident that such harsh treatment at the hands of the monarchy in the 14th century led to the creation of this story of the heroic freedom- fighter of Sherwood Forest....” I will let you decide whether there are any lessons to be learned from these events.
