The Baroness of Rocksler

Finally, let me tell you what I forgot to mention before: when I see the tall and thin Miss Bess, what I think of is Marianne's maid in the Disney version of "Robin Hood", Ms. Clara - a fat old hen. At the end of "Ivanhoe", many people reported to Scott that they preferred the flesh-and-blood Rebecca to the vase-like Rowena. The author replied: The perfection of a hero depends on tragedy. The Lionheart is like this, Joan of Arc is like this, Cesare Borgia is like this, and Robin Hood will not be an exception. The story is not full enough yet, but the writing is already a bit hot, so keep up the good work.

There was great peace between England and France. King Richard and King Philippe Auguste of France were good friends who slept together since childhood. Richard had more territories in France than Philippe Auguste. Although the two had a small quarrel during the Third Crusade, Philip Augustus returned home after successfully besieging Acre, but he did not forget to leave most of his combatants in Palestine, plus five thousand marks of gold and silver, for fear that Richard would be short of troops and pay. He was so virtuous that I had to wonder if Philip Augustus suddenly went back because he was angry because of the passion between Richard and Saladin. After Philip Augustus returned to China, the French army left behind was led by his cousin and brother-in-law Hugo III, Duke of Burgundy, so the following scene happened next: During the first stages of the Crusaders' march south from Acre, Hugues and the French formed the rearguard, bearing the brunt of a determined attack by Saladin on 30 August when Hugues of Burgundy demonstrated considerable capability as a field commander. He was subsequently co-commander of the whole Crusader army at the battle of Arsuf, but relations between the French and Angevin contingents were already deteriorating with the quarrel between Hugues and Richard soon became public. The Duke of Burgundy's money also ran out and he had to borrow from Richard to pay his troops. After Richard abandoned the Crusader advance towards Jerusalem, Hugues withdrew his men in disgust, after which Richard not surprisingly stopped paying them. The English also accused Hugues of Burgundy of composing a rude song about King Richard, to which the English king responded with a rival song. Started feeling better as soon as he heard the news. My own translation: In the first stage of the Crusaders' march south from Acre, Hugo and the French army, as rearguards, bore the brunt of Saladin's attack on August 30. Hugo of Burgundy's performance proved that he was an excellent on-site commander. Later, during the Battle of Arsuf, he became the joint commander of the entire Crusade. However, as the conflict between Hugo and Richard became public, the relationship between the French army and the Anjou army also deteriorated. Meanwhile the Duke of Burgundy was running out of money and had to borrow money from Richard to pay for his army. After Richard abandoned the Crusaders and marched toward Jerusalem, Hugo ordered his troops to retreat in disgust, and Richard unsurprisingly refused to continue paying them. The English accused Hugo of Burgundy of composing a rude song related to King Richard, and the English king responded unceremoniously with a song. Not long before peace came, Hugo III, Duke of Burgundy, died in Acre. King Richard was also ill at the time and said that when he heard the news, he immediately felt much better. While quarreling, I borrowed money from the person I was quarreling with, and the person I was quarreling with was actually willing to borrow money. How heartless are foreigners? There is still time to sing and talk nonsense. How leisurely was this battle? The last sentence is particularly speechless. One passes by and the other goes by the Duke, just like kindergarten children. If the Duke is not dead, I doubt they will start throwing mud at each other next.

Richard the Lionheart, who led the Crusades, used this kind of strategy to regain the throne, which is quite entertaining. "——In fact, history can really be more bloody than novels. When I was translating the biography of Cesare Borgia, I watched him conquer the world and lamented how history could be so happy. I recommend another book by the author, "Mad Man, Fool, Nymphomaniac", a variety of alternative European histories, which is simply a treasure trove of inspiration for authors of historical fiction novels. Is Guy a knight or a duke? Is there a four-level difference between the titles of knight and duke? By letting go so freely, the heroine finally looks like a heroine.

I do the same thing when writing articles. I first think about the beginning and ending, and then slowly fill in the middle part. I just won't post it online until I finish it. Robin Hood's archery competition and rescue were just brushed aside? A bit... Too brief. It is said that Richard I seemed to be gay, and he was not a wise king at all. If the author is interested, you may wish to watch the BBC documentary "Medieval Life". The Middle Ages, which is very interesting and destructive, is completely different from what most people imagine. The content is not long, there are eight episodes in total, each episode is less than half an hour.

Now that you've surrendered yourself to the trap, we can hold you hostage and demand exchange with Robin. According to your noble tradition, this request will definitely be granted, so Miss, you don't have to worry about your personal safety here. "——This is what the heroine looks like. The previous scene where she was jealous over a man who already had an official wife was too much like the female lead in an idol drama.

I remember shooting willow branches as the bow and arrow competition after the martial arts tournament in "Ivanhoe", right? Robin Hood's rival is Hubert

Silently complaining: Catholic clergy are only not allowed to eat red meat during fasting, and fish and other aquatic products are not taboo.

Excuse me for being a textualist obsessive: Were there feathered top hats in that era? Men's hats in Robin Hood's era were just pancake-shaped headgear, right? It has big feathers, it should be from the era of the Three Musketeers.

I once watched a cartoon called "Young Robin Hood", which seemed to be from Spain. The character Sir Guy in it was so wretched. By the way, Marianne is 25 years old? At that time, men could get married when they were 14 years old, and women could get married when they were 12 years old. If they were still unmarried at 25, they were definitely either nuns or leftovers. Being widowed at 25 is quite possible. In that era, there were diseases and wars, and it was not unusual for a woman to get married four or five times. There is this passage in "The Third Crusade 1191": Henry of Champagne never the title 'King of Jerusalem' and he was often known as King of the Coast. However, he remained ruler of what remained of the Kingdom until 1197 when he stepped backwards out of a window and was killed. Isabella then married her fourth and final husband, who died eight years later after adopting too much fish. Isabella was still only 33 years old but had earned a reputation as a dangerous woman to wed. (My own Chinese translation: Henry of Champagne never accepted the title of "King of Jerusalem", only King of the Coast. But he ruled the rest of the kingdom until he fell out of a window and died in 1197. So Isabella married her fourth and last husband, who died eight years later after eating too much fish. Isabella was only 33 at the time and already had a reputation as a crocodile.) The way people died at that time really makes people feel powerless to complain. Apart from King Charles VIII of France who killed himself by ramming his head against a door frame, this guy who died after eating fish was the funniest way I have ever seen him die. I also read this article and learned that there is also a saying about Kefu abroad. I have read some documents introducing the Middle Ages before, and I always felt that at that time, it was normal for a woman to marry four or five times. After all, the birth rate of women is already lower than that of men, and witch hunting has further reduced the number of women. Coupled with the fact that there are old couples and young wives, men have a higher mortality rate than women due to disease and war, and Christianity does not oppose or even encourages widows to remarry. It is normal for a woman to marry four or five times. Henry VIII's last queen, Catherine Parker, had two barons and a king dead, so wouldn't someone still dare to marry her? In the end, the last one was tougher than her and killed her.

When I see the title "Beauty", I think of the beauty in A Song of Ice and Fire. I have been studying Spartacus Rebellion these past two days, and when I saw your article, I suddenly felt that the relationship between Robin Hood and Little John was very similar to Spartacus and Crisses.
