    Re: Russell Crowe's new movie "Rob Hood" - First Look / Alan Doyle

    I'm cheesed about the summary because England hasn't had a Norman invasion since 1066 A.D. (as the tour bus driver on my London tour pointed out, "This was the last time our country succumbed to foreign domination"), and that was about five generations before Robin Hood's time.  What's fact and what's legend about the man who inspired the Robin Hood tale (there most likely was a real-life inspiration, as is usually the case in legends like this) is a matter for endless debate, but all variations of the story make one thing crystal clear: Robin Hood lived in the time of Richard the Lionheart, who was the GREAT-GREAT-GRANDSON of William the Conqueror.  *end history nerd rant*
