But _gee_ Graydon, why not re-create a "Robin Hood" romance?  :-)

[Caveat, folks...  I'm not a pure "romance/fantasy" or "historical/
authenticist" by any means...  I'm in favor of the eternal search

but that's just because you're wearing Lincoln Green for camoflage.
[Remove tongue from cheek now].

Take care friends -- Bertram
