The Sheriff today hath his family here, so Robin Hood hath be warned to stay far & not near. Tho they’ve come to play Chess and be put to the test, ‘tiz a score to be settled to see who's the best. Robin Hood doth not sing but his sword often rings with combat that's not always in jest.
Be it true that Captain Alfonse Wilhelm Petard and Lord Scrope of Bolton's Retinue have other ideas in mind for them, and thee???

@xxxx{:::::::::::::::::::::::::::>Politician
Medieval Politicians served in many different capacities. Whereas a local lord ruled the lands of his fiefdom, the local people were often allowed to elect their own sheriffs, mayors and delegates to handle matters on smaller levels. All matters of grave importance though were left to the decisions of arbitrators barristers and of course the local lord himself.
A Sheriff was a minor political post that carried great weight and authority. Often answerable tot he local lord his duties included the enforcement of law throughout the local communities.
The mayor was the voice of the people. Any concerns of the commoners were put forth to the Mayor and either he could resolve the matters personally or seek the counsel of a barrister or his local lord.
Delegates operated between the Sheriff and Mayor and often were directly in contact with the people. When concerns or issues were raised the Delegates would call meetings between the Sheriff and Mayor and attempt to resolve the matters. The entire system was subject to the law of the local lord but many times these lesser legislative bodies were effective in their duties. Wages varied but usually Politicians had above average livings.
