At Runnymede, King John agreed to many clauses, but clause 50 specifically calls for the end of Marc. He and his relatives are specifically mentioned in the Magna Carta. Marc was not popular he and his relatives have been judged a 'bad lot'. Marc was the High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and the Royal Forests and Eustace was his deputy. Was no 'Sheriff of Nottingham' until much later. Like Marc himself, Eustace has been proposed as a contender for the Sheriff of Nottingham mentioned in the Robin Hood legends. In 1214, Marc had a deputy named Eustace of Lowdham who may have already been working for him for five years. In the seventh year of the reign of King John, Marc was given the bailiwick of Burton.

They took their profits from the confiscated lands that they had taken from debtors. Sheriffs were appointed by the King (or Queen), but they were not paid. They had to pay if they wanted to ' enjoy the King's peace'. The request was accompanied by a threat that they would be burnt to the ground. The nature of this task can be judged by a later demand he made for another 100 pounds from debtors in Lexington. In 1207, Marc was ordered to collect 100 pounds from 'three men of Newark'. This land had been lost by King John to King Philip II of France in 1204. Marc is thought to have come from the French province of Touraine which is south of the Loire. Marc has been proposed as a candidate for the role of Sheriff of Nottingham in the legend of

SANCTUARY - A ROBIN OF SHERWOOD ADVENTURE BY PAUL BIRCH - An audiobook based on the Robin of Sherwood TV series.THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (BANCROFT CLASSICS) - A Robin Hood children's book that I owned as a child.But if you'd like something a little different than most Robin Hood stories, something that looks at the politics of the early 13th century and the people of those times, The Sheriff of Nottingham is worth reading. If you're looking for a fast-paced or funny book, look elsewhere. The novel blends fiction and fact in an enjoyable way. I enjoyed the use of real history in the book, such as King John's order to hang some Welsh children at Nottingham. The moral of the story seems to be 'No good deed goes unpunished.'

But then that does make an interest contrast with the problems around him. I find that Philip isn't a very complex man. Then there's that ne'er-do-well rogue of Sherwood Forest who puts in a few (and only a few) appearances.Īnd what is Philip Mark's failing? Being too good for his own good.

And Philip Mark's wife, Anne, has an affair.

For example, the sheriff's trusted servant Sparks embezzles money to provide a nice retirement fund for his master. Those around Philip are the ones at fault. Philip dismisses the charges against him as 'the classic whines of the reluctant taxpayer.' Kluger writes Philip as a very moral man who is forced to make difficult choices. The real Philip Mark was mentioned by name in the document that would become the Magna Carta.īut Kluger's Philip is not the same as Holt's.
