Robin Hood
The real world of Robin Hood – A guide for the historically inept
The Sheriff of Nottingham

The Sheriff of Nottingham

Robin's ultimate foe, The Sheriff of Nottingham is hated by peasants and nobles alike and his historical counterpart wouldn't have fared much better. Responsible for administering royal justice, the Sheriff had the power to fine, mutilate or hang anyone who was dragged in front of the courts. It's no surprise, therefore, that the Sheriff of Nottingham has always been portrayed as the ultimate villain in the world of Robin Hood.

Tavern Trivia: The title 'Sheriff' comes from the term Shire Reeve – the Reeve being the man responsible for supervising the land's of the Lord.
