No wonder his standard is a rampant boar

ebonlockI've rediscovered an old hero of mine, the Sheriff of Nottingham from the Robin of Sherwood series. I was watching "Alan a Dale" and the scene where he casually gets up out of his bath and orders Sir Guy to towel him, then gives an imperious, "Harder!" made me fall over laughing. He's such a beautifully bitchy man, and the relationship between him and Guy is so delightfully...ambiguous.
I think I'd make a good High Sheriff. I could stalk around Nottingham castle slapping around the staff and ordering my blonde bitch boy to do my bidding. "Towel me dry, boy, I feel a chill coming on. Now shimmy out of that armor and put on the dress, I've a mind to play Wolf's Head and village maid." Hell, I was born for the job. If only I'd been born back then, there really isn't much of a call for imperious, abusive, heavy-handed Norman lords these days. More's the pity.
Of course I'd want a few Hobbits about the place as well *G*
