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

The cold engine of the state and the most hated man in England. Serving as Richard’s Chancellor, he governs with absolute, bureaucratic ruthlessness, viewing the realm as a treasury to be liquidated for the Crusade. He is the architect of the administrative terror that seized the Locksley lands and dispossessed the veterans of Acre. A master of ledgers and iron, he uses his authority to squeeze both noble and peasant, fueling the very resentment Prince John exploits. He is the ultimate antagonist of the law—a man who believes peace is maintained through the systematic bankruptcy of the King's subjects.
