To be fair, modern Nottinghamshire English is probably no closer to 
the English of the thirteenth century than Costner's accent.  If 
Robin Hood could hear a modern Englishman and a modern American 
speaking, he'd probably think they were both speaking the same 
foreign language - and he'd probably be right.

If RH existed, he almost certainly wasn't baron of anything.

Men', BBC Children's TV
