Fan Casting Adela of Champagne in Robin Hood and the House of Plantagenet (TV-Series)

Mother of King Philip and Agnes, widow of Louis VII. The Queen Mother of France and a seasoned political operator whose relationship with her son, King Philip, is defined by a history of bitter conflict. Despite Philip's rise to power, Adela remains at odds with him, refusing to let her son’s ambitions eclipse her own influence at the Capetian court. Her lingering resentment toward Philip puts her on a collision course with his current schemes; she often acts as a contrarian force, sabotaging his alliances simply to assert her continued relevance. In the shifting landscape of 1191, she is a dangerous wild card who prioritizes her own status over the success of her son’s anti-Richard conspiracy.
