You will turn over every blade of grass in Barnsadle, Sherwood and Nottingham until this man and his cutthroats are brought to the gallows and disembowelled while they still breathe. I will not have my throne threatened! I will not have Saxon mock Norman! And I will have my money!

—John Lackland, king of England, in John Irvin's Robin Hood (1991)
