I very much want this campaign to be two things, 1. Sellable 2.Original
I realize that Robin Hood seems derivitive, but I think something new can be done with the myth to make it interesting.
On that note, Enter William Longchamps.. Richard I's Chancellor and a man whom the last king had disliked calling him the son of two traitors. In June 1190 he received a commission as a papal legate from Pope Celestine II. He was then master in church as well as state. But his disagreeable appearance and manners, his pride, his contempt for everything English made him detested. His progresses through the country with a train of a thousand knights were ruinous to those on whom devolved the burden of entertaining him. Even John seemed preferable to him.
John soon returned to England; he and his adherents were immediately involved in disputes with William, who was always worsted. At last (June 1191) Geoffrey, Archbishop of York and William's earliest benefactor (the aforementioned son of Henry II), was violently arrested by William's subordinates on landing at Dover. They exceeded their orders, which were to prevent the archbishop from entering England until he had sworn fealty to Richard. But this outrage was made a pretext for a general rising against William.
