In that pleasant district of merry england which is watered by the river don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, covering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between sheffield and the pleasant town of doncaster. the remains of this extensive wood are still to be seen at the noble seats of wentworth, of warncliffe park, and around rotherham. here haunted of yore the fabulous dragon of wantley; here were fought many of the most desperate battles during the civil wars of the roses; and here also flourished in ancient times those bands of gallant outlaws, whose deeds have been rendered so popular in english song. such being our chief scene, the date of our story refers to a period towards the end of the reign of richard i, when his return from his long captivity had become an event rather wished than hoped for by his despairing subjects, who were in the meantime subjected to every species of subordinate oppression. the nobles, whose power had become exorbitant during the reign of stephen, and whom the prudence of henry the second had scarce reduced to some degree of subjection to the crown, had now resumed their ancient license in its utmost extent; despising the feeble interference of the english council of state, fortifying their castles, increasing the number of their dependants, reducing all around them to a state of vassalage, and striving by every means in their power, to place themselves each at the head of such forces as might enable him to make a figure in the national convulsions which appeared to be impending. what does the author mean when he writes that the nobles had "resumed their ancient license in its utmost extent"? the nobles had again sought to unite with nobles from other nations. the nobles had again sought to pay homage and give respect to the king. the nobles had again sought to make themselves as powerful as possible. the nobles had again sought to share their power and wealth with the peasants.
