I was watching a show the other day about Robin Hood. You know the one. The good King Richard, who loved his people, away on crusades, while the evil Prince John plunders the countryside.
King Richard, who refused to speak English, preferring French. King Richard who saddled his country with crushing debt to pay for the crusades. King Richard who saw England as a means to finance his adventures.
And then there's Prince, or rather King John. He did rule after Richard after all. He brought about an English speaking court and Magna Carta. But what are those compared to a good story.
