This is called land colonization. It is not fair for the other people who don’t have any land at all. In the movie, “The Patriot”, the setting took place during the Revolutionary War, or the American Revolution, in South Carolina during the late 1770’s.

The only remaining seal of Wallace was attached to the Lubeck Letter. William spent much of his younger life in Selkirk forest, outlawed, wrongly accused of being a poacher. He was a gamekeeper, equipped with a bow and arrow. Here is the reason for the bow on his seal. Is it purely coincidence that Robin was famous for his use of the bow? William’s wife was called Mirren; this is Scots for Marion, the name of Robin Hood’s love. No evidence suggests that Robin ever lived in Sherwood. There was no actual ‘Robin Hood’ but is it possible that he could have existed as William Wallace. Robin was famous for stopping tax carriages and giving the money to the poor. Robin did not do this by force; he used tactics and strategy. Much like William Wallace did in his battles. William lead commoners to battle not trained soldiers. He used strategy to win his battles, yet another connection between Robin and William. All evidence suggests that Robin lived in the 13th century. It is of little surprise then that this was the time of William

When dealing with the fictional character of Robin Hood, it is easy to get lost in the fantasy of his tale because of the additions to the story through oral tradition over the years. However, there was a real- life Robin Hood who was much different than what twentieth century cinemas portrayed him as being. The real Robin Hood was born at Locksley in the county of Nottingham during the reign of Henry II. It may be confusing to many people to hear that he was a yeoman, nothing more, nothing less. The ideal supremacy from his legends depicts him as being a knight in shining armor, but the history from his ballads tells otherwise.
