In vital, dramatic colors, Kluger paints a panorama of that England at the dawn of modernity and its principal players and events. Posted to Nottinghamshire in 1208 as the crown’s chief law officer, he is answerable only to King John himself, a monarch who has been handed down to posterity – perhaps not altogether fairly – as an unredeemed tyrant presiding over a tumultuous age. Philip Mark, a soldier of fortune from Touraine in the heart of France and actually cited by name in the text of the Magna Carta as objectionable to the king’s barons, is a complex figure, a man with a heart, a conscience, and deft political instincts. Through a fusion of art and documented fact, Kluger portrays a far different sheriff. Now, with his novel, The Sheriff of Nottingham, Richard Kluger turns the timeless tale on its head in a vivid, compassionate narrative based upon authentic and quite startling history. He remains to this day, fed by Hollywood versions of the legend, the hateful, impotent foil to that celebrated bowman, Robin Hood.
He is based on the Sheriff of Nottingham from the story Robin Hood.Has there ever been a less lovable character in folk literature than that craven creature, the nameless Sheriff of Nottingham?.Keith is attacked by Robin on the streets and nearly killed, until Regina teleports Keith elsewhere. Rumplestiltskin eventually notices that Lacey is watching, but she appears to be attracted to Rumplestiltskin's dark side, and so he continues giving Keith a brutal beating.Īs Robin and Regina struggle to cope with Zelena, they recall their previous encounters with the Sheriff. Keith later apologizes, but Rumplestiltskin, who is fed up of trying to be good, rips out Keith's tongue so he cannot scream and proceeds to beat him with his cane. After Lacey has been gone for a long time, Rumplestiltskin eventually goes out the back where he finds Lacey and Keith making out. While Lacey is on a date with Rumplestiltskin, who wants to get Belle to love him again, Lacey says that she needs to use the restroom. In Storybrooke, Keith is usually at a pub called The Rabbit Hole, where he attempts to woo "Lacey" (actually Belle with new memories). With his tongue back, the Sheriff tells Rumplestiltskin that Robin Hood was seen in Sherwood Forest. Rumplestiltskin rips out the Sheriff's tongue and proposes another deal - if he returns the Sheriff's tongue, then the Sheriff will tell Rumplestiltskin where the thief is. The Sheriff agrees to help the Dark One, but states that he will only tell him if, in return, the Sheriff is allowed a night with the "wench" Rumplestiltskin is traveling with, Belle. One day, he meets Rumplestiltskin, who is searching for Robin Hood, in order to hunt and kill him.
Cora Mills eventually convinces the Sheriff to pretend to be Robin Hood to marry Queen Regina Mills, her daughter, but it fails to fool Regina. Reduced to nothing, the Sheriff becomes a regular drunk. In the Enchanted Forest, the Sheriff of Nottingham is humiliated by the thief Robin Hood, who also steals his maiden, Marian.
