- Wakefield. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … Richard Braithwaite in his Strappado for the Diuell mentions May games at Wakefield. Born in Kendall (Cumberland) and educated at Oxford, he may not have known much about Wakefield, and it is possible he invented these annual May games and dances "vpon Wakefield greene" as a punning allusion to George à Greene, the Pinder of Wakefield. On the other hand, he may have had first or second hand knowledge of such festival traditions in Wakefield.

- Windsor Castle. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-10-16. Revised by … Allusions IRHB comments Since this event had to be filed under some place and date, I have assumed the celebration occurred on the wedding day and at Windsor Castle where the wedding took place, but this is of course not certain. The celebration in question may have taken shortly after the wedding, and it may have been in London or Brighouse. The latter is the township in which Kirklees Priory, the alleged scene of Robin Hood's death, was situated. In the 16th century, Kirklees Hall was built on the priory grounds, in part from materials from the priory buildings.

- Stepney. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-11. Revised by … At a tournament at Stepney on 29 May 1309, Giles Argentine (c.1280-1314) was announced as King of the Greenwood. He was an illustrious knight who got himself illustriously killed at the battle of Bannockburn. In his time he was – at least in Britain – considered one of the greatest knights in Europe, but he was also a reckless youth who frequently got himself into trouble, now with the law, now with the king, now with the fishermen of London, etc. Kathryn Warner, who has written an excellent biographical blog post about Giles Argentine, renders the Latin "dicebatur" in the chronicle entries cited below as "was crowned 'King of the Greenwood'". While this seems right at first sight, I do not believe it is exactly what the chroniclers meant. Ian Lancashire catalogued the event as a "[t]ournament in which Giles Argentine entered as King of the Greenwood". Lancashire, Ian 1984a, No. 1413.

The royal guards gave an archery exhibition, all 200 men shooting on cue, with arrows with whistle heads that produced a loud and impressive noise. 'Robin Hood' invited the royal couple into his arbour, feasting them on venison and wine. The royal and noble visitors were subsequently escorted back by Robin Hood and his company, being met en route by Ladies May and Flora in a rich chariot drawn by five horses, ridden by the ladies Humidite, Ver, Vegetive, Pleasant, and Sweet Odour – perhaps impersonated by the children of the chapel – who saluted …4 KB (526 words) - 13:26, 7 January 2021

Bond Bond. op. cit., p. xci. notes that though ostensibly taking place in the Roman empire, Misogonus is entirely English in tone and atmosphere and as regards characters' names and Allusions. He cites the alluions to Robin Hood and Maid Marian among his examples. Maid … "smurkinge wenche", is a character connected with entertainments in popular festivals.
