High Sheriff of Lancashire

«/u»http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Documents/sheriffs_of_lancashire.htm
Sheriff of Nottingham and Derby, England, from the 31st to the 39th year of the reign of Henry III. He paid a fine of £1200 marks and two palfreys, that his daughter, then widow of Theobald Butler, might be married to Fulke Fitzwarin.
The importand part:
By her first marriage shortly before 1200 to Theobald Walter, 1st Baron Butler, Maud was the ancestress of the Butler Earls of Armand and the founding ancestress of the Butler family of Ireland.
Following the death of Theobald in early February 1206, Maud returned to England into the custody of her father, who, having bought the right of marrying her at the price of 1200 marks and two palfreys, (A palfrey is a type of horse that was highly valued as a riding horse in the Middle Ages. It is not a breed.) Gave her in marriage by October 1207 to Fulk FitzWarin, son of Fulk FitzWaren and Hawse de Dinan.
The Interesting part:«b»
«/b»Maud's second marriage was to Fulk FitzWarin a medieval landed gentleman who subsequent to a violent quarrel with King John of England, was deprived of his lands and property by the vengeful king. Fulk then sought refuge in the woods and became an outlaw, with Maud having accompanied him. So he was forced to become an outlaw in the early 13«sup»th«/sup» century. So what??? a lot of men were striped of their lands by a king. A big what?
The legend of Robin Hood and Maid Marian is based in them. An example that when you dig through a legend you find a real person. In this case our 24«sup»th«/sup» Great-Grandmother.
