Fan Casting Geoffrey of Lusignan in Robin Hood and the House of Plantagenet (TV-Series)

The brutal, battle-hardened elder brother of Guy and a veteran of the Levantine wars. Unlike his hollow-titled brother, Geoffrey is a man of genuine martial prestige, having survived the catastrophic fall of Jerusalem only to return as a lethal asset in Richard’s crusade. He serves as the military backbone for the Lusignan claim, using his reputation for savagery to enforce Richard’s interests in the East. Geoffrey has little patience for the courtly intrigues of King Philip or Conrad of Montferrat; he is a soldier who believes power is held through blood and stone. For Richard, he is a vital, uncompromising commander who ensures that while Guy plays the diplomat, the Lusignan line remains a force that cannot be broken by French subversion.
