While Richard is bent on adventure
in foreign lands...
:06:46
...it is our duty as Normans
to preserve the realm...
:06:49
...by giving loyal support
to Prince John...
:06:51
...the only true defender
of the Norman spirit.
:06:54
Hail to Prince John.
:07:06
My lords, I thank you.
Well, this is what we Normans like:
:07:11
Good food, good company...
:07:13
...and a beautiful woman
to flatter me, eh, Lady Marian?
:07:16
Was it worthwhile coming with me
from London...
:07:18
...to see what stout fellows
our Nottingham friends are?
:07:21
Take Sir Guy of Gisbourne. One of our
most renowned defenders of the realm.
:07:26
- Must I take him, Your Highness?
- Why, you like him, don't you?
:07:29
- Well, he's a Norman, of course.
- Is that the only reason for liking him?
:07:34
Isn't that reason enough for a royal ward
who must obey her guardian?
:07:37
Oh, nay, I'd not force you, my lady.
:07:40
But he's our most powerful friend in
these shires and he's in love with you.
:07:45
If I could promise him marriage
to a royal ward, it might help my plans.
:07:50
- Perhaps when I know him better.
- Of course.
:07:53
You're a very wise young woman.
:07:55
Any more objections to the new tax
from our Saxon friends?
:07:59
Objections, Your Highness?
