    Vegueta. Anuario de la Facultad de Geografía e Historia 21 (1), 2021, 531-560 eISSN: 2341-1112 https://doi.org/10.51349/veg.2021.1.20 Juan Sin Tierra, rey de Inglaterra, en el cine John Lackland, King of England, at the Movies Francisco Saulo Rodríguez Lajusticia Universidad de Cantabria https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9194-8360 [email protected] Recibido: 17/04/2020; Revisado: 03/09/2020; Aceptado: 22/10/2020 Resumen Juan Sin Tierra se ha convertido en uno de los reyes medievales ingleses más conocidos por el gran público. El cine ha ido variando su imagen, presentándolo a veces como el peor villano imaginable capaz de todo tipo de crueldades y otras como alguien torpe, inseguro y lleno de traumas. Juan Sin Tierra ha sido utilizado también para personificar valores propios del siglo XX y se ha cargado de connotaciones negativas. El objetivo es mostrar la visión que el cine ha ofrecido de él y ofrecer el contraste con la realidad de alguien no más cruel que sus contemporáneos. Palabras clave: Juan Sin Tierra; Ricardo Corazón de León; Inglaterra; cine; Robin Hood. Abstract John Lackland has become one of the most famous English medieval kings. The cinema has continuously changed his image, presenting him sometimes as the worst human being imaginable, capable of all kinds of cruel behaviours, and sometimes as clumsy, insecure and beset by various traumas. John Lackland has also been used to epitomize the values of the twentieth century and burdened by negative connotations without documentary evidence. The objective of this work is to demonstrate his cinematic portrayal and to offer the contrasting reality of someone no more wicked than his contemporaries.

  • Lancashire and the Legend of Robin Hood
    Lancashire and the Legend of Robin Hood. W. T. W. Potts The common belief that Robin Hood robbed the rich to help the poor arose from an incident in the Lyttell Geste of Robyn Hode, the earliest version of the cycle of Robin Hood stories. In the Lyttell Geste Robin lends a Sir Richard at the Lee £400 in order that he may redeem his estate from the Abbot of St. Mary’s Abbey, York. Sir Richard had mortgaged his estate in order to help his son who “slewe a knyght of Lancaster and a squyer bolde.” (Verse 53) Several of the incidents in the Lyttell Geste reflect historic events in northern England during the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, in modern terms, some of the tales are ‘faction’. Previous attempts to identify any historical persons or events behind Sir Richard have been unsuccessful but it will be suggested here that persons and events with the parish of Lea, a few miles west of Preston, Lancs, about this time, provide interesting parallels to the story and suggest that the Sir Richard stories are also faction. Although Robin Hood is popularly associated with Nottingham, many of the stories in the Lyttell Geste take place in Yorkshire and Lancashire, particularly in the Honours of Pontefract and Clitheroe, estates which belonged to the Lacy family in the early fourteenth century and it is likely that the stories were first composed by minstrels for the entertainment of that family.1 The Lyttell Geste was one of the first popular tales printed for the common people.
