He's being introduced as the current Robin's half-brother. It's fairly well-known in the industry that Jonas Armstrong intends to quit the series at the end of this season, and bringing in a relation as a replacement certainly has past form (cf Robin of Sherwood).

Of course, that would mean two of the main protagonists of Nottingham's favourite legend would now be played by Chisits :lol:

"Robin Hood" was from Leicestershire anyway. Swannington.

 

[Luke-Knight]

so its been 8 long years since robin hood was contreversially outed as being from swannington

have we yet seen the proof? or is this like the legendary man himself - complete fiction?

 

[Lears City]

Roger Godberd was definitely from Swannington.

He is the actual "Robin Hood", but there will be denials. We just let them claim him because he hid in Sherwood for a bit and had some run-ins with their Sheriff.

 

[Luke-Knight]

cool - does godberd maen good-beard? cos the srobin tautue outside notts castle dont have have a beard on his face, he looks more like a woman. holy shit, was robin a woman?

 

[Luke-Knight]

why doesnt shit get starred? ims ure iv asked this bfreoe befoer

 

[Lears City]

No idea if Godberd means Good Beard? Perhaps Rob had a shave when he posed for the statue?

 

[Lears City]

It is a small and boring statue.

You can tell it isn't him, because he was left-handed.

 

[Luke-Knight]

f*** off, u dont no that robin hood wasnt left handed?

hold, on, he aint eeven real in the first place

 

[Lears City]

No, I said he was left-handed.

The early tales of Robin Hood are based on a combination of the exploits of Roger Godberd (the original source of the tales) from Leicestershire and Robert Hode (a later criminal) from Wakefield.

Combine them together and you get the real-life sources of "A Gest of Robyn Hod".

 

[Luke-Knight]
