Among them, The Adventures of Robin Hood in Notting Castle published by American writer Howard Paul in 1883 is well known to us.
Robin Hood is a re-creation of French writer alexandre dumasfils on the basis of predecessors. This work is different from the plots and characters we used to know. It shows us a brand-new and more vivid Robin Hood and provides us with a chance to read more.
At present, the literary works about Robin Hood can be traced back to14th century, and William Langlan's long poem The Sage of Farmer Pierce is the earliest one. Walton, a Scottish historian, also mentioned him in the Chronicle of Scotland. /kloc-After 0/5th century, Robin Hood became a household name.
Robin Hood took Sharwood as his base camp, United with John Jr. and Wen Leo to rob the rich and help the poor, punished the violent Ludman nobles and officials, and used the money to help the poor, which reflected the spirit of the British people in the Middle Ages to resist feudal oppression. In English legend, Robin Hood's name is extremely loud. The story about him is not historical, but the hero is usually exaggerated or fictional. There are many stories about his legend. Generally speaking, during the famous Crusade in 12 ~ 13 century, King Richard of England was captured, and Prince John who stayed at home took the opportunity to usurp power and refused to redeem King Richard. The Nottingham sheriff, who was in cahoots with him, also took the opportunity to seize the Robin Hood family's territory loyal to King Richard and tried to get his hands on his sweetheart Marianne. Robin Hood was forced to hide in Sherwood forest, and on this basis, he led the peasant uprising army to rob the rich and help the poor everywhere, and finally succeeded in saving King Richard and smashing the conspiracy of Prince John and others. The most outstanding thing about Robin Hood is his superb archery. Up to now, there is still a term in archery competition called "Robin Hood", which means "hit another arrow that has hit the bull's-eye and split it in two", which is a portrayal of Robin Hood's superb archery.
It is also said that around 1 190, Richard Lionheart of England led the British army to participate in the Crusade, and Robin Hood also went out with the army. However, when the war ended and Robin Hood came home from the battlefield, he found that his manor and property were confiscated by the Nottinghamshire sheriff on trumped-up charges. At this time, Britain was ruled by Prince John, who took the opportunity to gain power through the eastward expedition of Lionheart King. His blackmail made the people miserable. To this end, Robin Hood gathered a group of outlaws, and with his wit and courage, he led everyone to rob the rich and help the poor and fight against the tyranny of the bad king.
Robin Hood, a legendary hero, is widely known not only in Britain, but also in many western countries. He is a well-known legendary hero in the west, and his stories often appear on movies and TV screens. I remember an English song "All for You" by Canadian singer Bryan Adams. This song is the theme song of the movie Robin Hood starring the famous movie star kevin costner.
Robin Hood's story takes place in Nottingham, England. Nottingham is a legendary ancient city. Nottingham is also one of the oldest cities in Britain. In the 6th century, Anglo-Saxons settled here. In the 9th century, it was invaded by foreigners. 1 1 century, ruled by the normans. About 700 years ago, in the vast Sherwood forest north of Nottingham, a group of outlaws, led by Robin Hood, rose up against Norman oppression. It seems that all the scenic spots in Nottingham are built around the legendary Robin Hood. Here is Robin Hood's mountain, there is Robin Hood's spring and hole, Robin Hood's arrow hit here, and so on. The most convincing argument is that Robin Hood was born in 65438+60s, and his activities are mainly concentrated in Rechard Ⅰ (1189 ~1199) and King John (1199 ~/kloc-). At that time, many fugitives who broke strict laws hid in the forest. It is conceivable that it is not difficult to pull up a brave and loyal team there. It is said that Robin Hood died in1247165438+1October 18. On his deathbed, he shot an arrow, and people buried the hero where the arrow hit.
When it comes to Robin Hood, we must talk about the legendary forest-Sherwood Forest. This forest used to cover a large area, but today it has been developed, with towns and villages. 30 kilometers north of Nottingham, there is a village of Edwinstowe, with Sherwood Forest Center at the edge, where you can enjoy the consumption of medieval forests. There is also a pavilion in the center to explain the story of Robin Hood. There is a huge oak tree near the center, which also plays a role in legend. It is said that Robin Hood and his companions met under this tree. Whether it is true or not, the explanation board next to the tree has its own answer. It turns out that this oak tree has a life span of over 800 years and weighs 32 tons. It's about 2 kilometers from the center to this elephant tree, and there is a pedestrian road in the middle. However, there is no smoke without fire. Walking in the forest, romantic stories of the past will pour out from time to time. Besides the forest, there is also a world of history, legend and art, Nottingham Castle. 1068, King William ordered the building of a castle here. It is said that the excavation of Huzhihe encountered sandstone strata, and the project was very arduous. In the early13rd century, King John drew up a plan to rebuild the castle. The commander-in-chief of the project is Nottingham Sheriff Philip Mark. It is said that he was a cruel ruler, so he became the enemy of Robin Hood. At that time, the castle became the center of politics, finance and army. /kloc-After 0/7th century, the Earl of Castle bought the castle and built a mansion on the Rocky Mountain. /kloc-it was renovated again in 0/875 and opened to the public as the largest local museum until today. From the green garden to the castle, you come to the castle museum. The exhibits here are varied and interesting. In addition, the castle gate was built in 1255, which was renovated in this century and became the Robin Hood exhibition room inside.
Robin Hood's story is as well known as China's Water Margin story.
