  1. Easy to take a course proven ever-popular and, best of all, television-worthy. Robin-a Welsh archer of no small talent- distinguished himself in service of the four kings in the Holy Land. Richard conferred upon him Lord of Lox (and Earl of Bagels in France), which is all well and good considering the original Lord of Locksley had recently succumbed to leprosy in Acre. Returning along a route not shared by his overland riding lord, he-Robin-avoids being taken prisoner, arrives in England, only to discover Prince (now King) John has given those lands (of Lox and Bagels) to another. For want of cream cheese a kingdom was lost. Arise, sir Robin! Heir to extensive lands since stolen away and none in court to support their return. Richard, conveniently imprisoned by Duke Leopold, cannot help his distinguished minion; in fact, cannot help himself, with John's hands on the royal purse. The land needs a hero, a man tried and true, with no stink of Abu Grahib on him. So is born the man in the hood, a medieval Batman able to bankroll a considerable stable of mercenaries and like-minded fools in their Sherwood Forest Paradise for Bros. As one can well imagine, the main target of this underground mud show Combat Sports team was wine shipments from the various monasteries. A good time was had by all <hic>. Once Richard is ransomed and retrieves the crown, Robin becomes once more lord of yaddayadda, Sir Lion of Bouf, and Duke of Earl. He marries his squeeze; the transvestite spy Mario, and settles down for an interesting go at surviving the plague. No historical anomalies, no stretches, just every returning veteran's story transferred to an exotic space and time. Certain names have been changed to suit my narrative, however.
