Sherwood Forest


Boy did they blow this movie when they chose the location. Spain looks nothing like freakin' Sherwood Forest and is far too sunny for England.

And what's with portraying Lionheart as a mass murderer?

It's Cosmo...He's Chinese.

Richard the Lionheart spent all but a handful of weeks as king waging war, slaughtering soldiers and civilians, and looting his enemies. Look it up.

Richard was, in his lifetime and long afterwards, a favorite hero with troubadours and romancers. This was natural, as he belonged to their brotherhood and himself wrote lyrics of no mean quality. But his history shows that he by no means embodied the current ideal of chivalrous excellence. His memory is stained by one act of needless cruelty, the massacre of over two thousand Saracen prisoners at Acre; and his fury, when thwarted or humbled, was ungovernable. A brave soldier, an experienced and astute general, he was never happier than when engaged in war. As a ruler he was equally profuse and rapacious. Not one useful measure can be placed to his credit; and it was by a fortunate accident that he found, in Hubert Walter, an administrator who had the skill to mitigate the consequences of a reckless fiscal policy.
