Fan Casting Mercadier in Robin Hood and the House of Plantagenet (TV-Series)

Richard’s dreaded mercenary captain and the iron fist holding the line in France while the King is away. Based in the volatile borderlands of the Limousin, he leads the infamous Brabançon sellswords with a savage efficiency that bypasses the feudal code of honor. As King Philip of France begins to pick at the edges of the Angevin Empire, Mercadier serves as the primary deterrent, waging a brutal war of attrition to protect Richard’s continental interests. He is a specialist in terror and a pragmatist who knows that gold and fear are the only true stabilizers of a kingdom. In a realm of shifting noble loyalties, he remains Richard’s most dependable—and most lethal—vanguard.
