[MR] BBC: Robin Hood and an English Pope

[Groff, Garth (ggg9y)]

Noble Friends,

Today BBC had two pieces of interest to Scadians.

Was Robin Hood actually from Kent? A historian claims the original Robin Hood might have been William of Kensham, an archer who lead resistance to the French occupation of Kent after the death of the Bad King John.

And to get into the spirit of the Conclave in Rome, BBC is offering a short article on the only Englishman to ever be Pope, Nicholas Breakspear/Pope Adrian IV in 1154. Didn't know there was an English Pope? Neither did I.
