The earl, by charter, granted to Ralph FitzStephen and Maud de Caux his wife, all liberties and custody of the forest of Sherwood, including permission to hunt hare, fox, cat, and squirrel with dogs and hounds all windfallen wood the valuable inner bark or bast of the lime trees a skep out of every cartload of salt passing through the forest, and half a skep from a half load and after pannage ( retro-pannagium) for pigs all pleas of unlawed dogs together with all goods and chattels belonging to thieves or ‘latronis'(2) taken by them within the forest. Sherwood was held by John, earl of Morton, during the lifetime of his brother Richard I. On the forfeiture of the Peverel estates, early in the reign of Henry II, the forest lapsed to the king, and was for some time administered by the successive sheriffs of the joint counties of Nottingham and Derby. He controlled it and held the profits under the crown. Royal hunting grounds ( silva regis) as distinct from the king’s lands or royal demesnes ( terra regis) probably existed long before the Conquest.(1) The Domesday Survey rarely makes any reference to a forest, but the Nottinghamshire portion of the Great Survey shows that a considerable number of the places within the woodland district were terra regis (‘Land of the King’) so the conversion of royal land into a large forest by William the Conqueror or his immediate successor, was a relatively easy matter. This well-wooded portion of Nottinghamshire became a great hunting district or forest for the early Norman kings. The forest came to notice in 1154, when William Peverel the younger answered to the forest pleas.
There were farms, enclosures, and towns such as Nottingham, Mansfield, and Ollerton within the bounds of Sherwood, and so was Annesley Castle. Originally the term forest did not imply a wood, but rather a great waste (uninhabited or uncultivated land) or ‘chase’ reserved for hunting, including certain woods and underwoods as cover for the deer and other game. The central and western parts of Nottinghamshire were thickly wooded, however the place-name relating to an area as in ‘field’ which was spelt ‘feld’ in old English, meaning a place where trees have been felled, or as we now say a clearing, is to be found in the western half of the shire, as in Ashfield, Balkfield, Basingfield, Eastfield, Farnsfield, Haggonsfield, and Highfield. Although it contained various tracts of open country, it was far more thickly wooded than many of the old forests, a notable contrast to the forest of the High Peak in the adjoining county of Derby, where the proportion of woodland was quite small. It was not the largest forest in medieval England, and it owes much of its fame to the Robin Hood legend. Alt+G ( Or Ctrl+G) toggles the mouse grab.Contrary to popular belief, Sherwood was not a continous forest. I always run the game in windowed mode without input grab ( -NOFULLSCREEN -NOINPUTGRAB) moving the screen around with the keyboard instead. On a semi-related note, there are some undocumented flags on the (Linux) executable. I'm posting this patcher again on GitHub. Since there is still discussion about this on the Steam version and people are playing this game in 2018
Robin hood legend of sherwood archer Patch#
I first posted this patch in 2012 on Desura ( ) where I bought the Linux version. I still think 1920x1080 is far better than running at 1024x768, but I recommend not setting the resolution any higher since then some maps are smaller than your screen which causes the cursor to freak out a bit at the edges.
They said they didn't want to change it because higher resolutions result in some issues such as the UI not scaling 100% correctly. I opened an issue about this on the public issue tracker ( ) since I knew the fix was fairly easy.
Savegame Offset 0x104, Resolution was 1920x1080
