William of Cassingham AKA Willikin of the Weald, played a major role in the First Baron's War of 1215-17 when he and a guerrilla force of bowmen recruited from the Weald of Kent fought against the invading French Army of Louis VIII. Although scarcely remembered today, William may have served at least in part as the inspiration for the semi-legendary figure Robin Hood.

You mentioned it covers Kent, I believe it more of it may actually be in Sussex and Cassingham is actually in Sussex. Love your videos and keep up the good work

Constantine, Alexander... why do all the Scottish kings around this time sound like they should be Greek or Byzantine?
-
I thought Ridley Scott's Robin Hood made up the French invasion of England but after watching this video it turns out that it was loosely based on First Baron's War of 1215-17.

Lewes and Winchelsea are in Sussex not Kent. Very interesting to watch this.

Everything good and English came from Kent.
-
I came here simply because I thought it peculiar that Wilikin resembles Robin Hood so much.
-
Ironic that our depictions all have him fighting John during as a usurper of Richard's throne, but here this partial inspiration for him was defending John and John's son.

A shame you forgot to show the Robin of 1980s tv-series Robin of Sherwood (ITV 1984 - 1986). The title song was by Clannad Robin (the Hooded Man).
