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

A phantom of the Crusades haunting his own existence. Officially killed in the bloody trenches of Acre in 1189, Robin returned to England as a nameless beggar only to find the Crown had already buried him alive. His parents died in the shame of dispossession, and his entire heritage was liquidated by the bureaucratic vultures of Longchamp’s administration—an iron-fisted regency acting under the King’s own authority. Because he is legally dead, his hood is not a costume but an existential necessity; a "dead" man cannot be betrayed, arrested, or executed. A high-born strategist who has traded his chivalry for the methods of asymmetric warfare, he acts as the invisible architect of the resistance. He exploits his status as a legal non-entity to hijack the existing peasant insurgency, transforming it into a surgical scalpel aimed at the corrupt officials and power-hungry usurpers who dismantled his house. Communicating solely through his trusted vessel, Will Stutely, he cultivates the myth of the untouchable "Hood" while privately orchestrating the systematic restitution of his name and the dismantling of those who thrive in the King’s absence.
