Ah Shropshire is a beautiful county and there's no doubt that Oswestry and Whittington Castle have become powerful remnants of the past there. Very magical, love Whittington Castle. I was the four year old they used to take to feed the ducks there. I always remember that. Went back, and it's timelessly nostalgic. Some things don't change much...Love the legends associated with it. You'd like to think that more than one person might be robbing from the rich to give to the poor at that time. Or maybe it's just a mythic tale that got attached to a number of people.

Magical place i sgree and a relaxing walk, the legend intrigued me, this seemed to fit well but there is story from Nottingham, Lincolnshire. Yorkshire and Leicester area so either a well-traveled chap or was it a name they gave to local hero thieves? opens up some questions don't you think

[@lespickering5080]

Was certainly fascinating and brilliant...I would like to find the Grail but would leave the chest for someone else...So much is hidden in myth and legend that surely it has truth...Loved this vid Dale...Amazing...Cheers Les.🤩🙂👍

i think there is some hidden truth in myth and legend Les this is why I look at em

Shropshire knight as the inspiration for Robin Hood? Mind officially blown! The connections to Whittington Castle, King Arthur, and the rebellious Fulk Fitz Warin III are incredibly intriguing. This is history at its most captivating! 🌟📜🤔

Love Whittington Castle 🤗 … looking forward to seeing this one 👍🏻❤️🐾

Its a thinker, is it true or not💖

Thank you for sharing with us my friend,

Thanks for visiting

[@RaymondoLeeTravel]

Very interesting history that’s tied into folklore of our area. Nice one mate

[@Traveler13]

Its curious isn't it, Robin hood characters are attached to a few different areas, was it a nickname for local heroes who went against the tyrant rulers?

[@RaymondoLeeTravel]

@Traveler13 well I personally think they were in nottinghamshire. Will scarlets grave in in my home village and friar tuck came from the same place. Although we will never be able to prove this as lots say they are from Yorkshire.

[@Traveler13]

@@RaymondoLeeTravel They were on the run as well so were possibly from all over the area, like you say we will never know for sure

[@bella_Areghostsreal]

Oh this was cool. Didn't know any of this especially about Oswald's tree! Also a beautiful castle. This gatehouse has featured in some tv shows I have watched. I enjoyed this as usual. Fascinating. Love castles ❤

[@Traveler13]

It is a gorgeous place, a place to investigate they say, yes the Oswald tree was an interesting bit of folklore I fell across, a lot of people have done this place so tried to add some different stuff, seems to have worked, went into detail about the Robin hood legend as seemed to make sense👍💗

[@bella_Areghostsreal]

Yeah, have to say does make a lot of sense that Robin hood link. A lot of parallels and historically would make a lot of sense. @@Traveler13

[@Benjamin-yh9mr]

its amazing😮

[@Traveler13]

glad you like it

[@Walks-with-Dave]

Wonderful legends and folklore relating to the Castle. Oswald’s Tree how Oswestry got its name was fascinating, I never knew that.. they say you learn something new everyday 🤗 Lovely footage and as usual, really well narrated .. Enjoyed this one Dale 👍🏻 ❤️🐾

[@Traveler13]

Ye the Oswald’s Tree was interesting i thought, the Robin Hood legend interested me coming from the Nottingham area, so true as I learned a lot researching this one, don't know if ill remember it all lol glad you enjoyed it Julie😀💗

[@Walks-with-Dave]

@@Traveler13 I like to think Robin Hood WAS a real person and then lots of people followed suit 😉 The little coots were sweet, used to see lots of them on the canal and moorhens. Saw a massive rat one day, it was the size of a cat lol, running along the bank. Yes, retaining all the information is another thing lol 😆

[@Traveler13]

@@Walks-with-Dave I like to think the same ye, its similar with King Arthur I think, nearly done the Shropshire legends of him, the coots were cute, lucky to catch them 💗

[@MauriceTarantulas]

Floreat Salopia. Must visit this castle.

[@Traveler13]

It is well worth a visit, i presume you're in the area from your welcome 👍

[@MauriceTarantulas]

@@Traveler13 Not in the area but will be visiting as most of my family comes from Shropshire. (I think there are some relatives but am looking into it. Melverley area, actually not too far as it happens)

[@Traveler13]

Good luck with the research@@MauriceTarantulas

Thank you that was fascinating, and I love the parallels.

Thank you glad you enjoyed it

[@TheRealRedAce]

WHICH Robin Hood? There were many of them, as many rebels, outlaws etc traditionally took the name Robin and often Hood as well. The reason the Robin Hood legends don't seem to match is they're about several different people.

[@Traveler13]

Dont i mention that later in the video?

[@TheRealRedAce]

@@Traveler13 Yes. I hadn't got to that part when I commented..
