Logically, Richard would not have been in England that often either way. The court of the Angevin Empire was held in either Angers or Chinon. Even if most of his reign had not consisted of military activity, he would not have been in England that often.

''Robin Hood'' (1922) is one of many, many adaptations of the Myth/RobinHood mythos. This film was directed by Allan Dwan and starred Creator/DouglasFairbanks as Robin Hood.
Robin Hood starts out as the Earl of Huntington and a loyal lieutenant to [[UsefulNotes/RichardTheLionheart Richard I of England]], the Lionheart. Unlike the 1938 ''Film/TheAdventuresOfRobinHood'' starring Creator/ErrolFlynn, there is no suggestion that Robin Hood is a Saxon nobleman. There is, however, scheming [[UsefulNotes/JohnIOfEngland Prince John]] as usual, plotting to seize his brother's throne, with Sir Guy of Gisborne as his evil sidekick, and Maid Marian as Robin's loyal girlfriend.
King Richard goes off on a [[UsefulNotes/TheCrusades Crusade]] with Robin as one of his right-hand men. While he is away, Prince John embarks on a cruel, despotic rule of England. Maid Marian sends a desperate plea to Robin for help, but Sir Guy, also on crusade with Robin and the King, has plans to prevent Robin from coming home.
Alan Hale plays Little John, the same role he later played in the 1938 film.
