Fan Casting Hugh de Puiset in Robin Hood and the House of Plantagenet (TV-Series)

The Prince-Bishop of Durham and Longchamp’s primary internal adversary. A proud aristocrat of royal blood, he views the Chancellor as a low-born usurper of power. While Longchamp holds the King’s seal, de Puiset uses his immense wealth and status as Co-Justiciar to cement his own sovereign-like control over the North. He is an opportunistic power-player who treats his loyalty as a commodity. De Puiset embodies ecclesiastical greed, equally comfortable wielding a sword or a crosier. In his quest to topple Longchamp, he becomes a dangerous, silent ally to anyone destabilizing the regency, provided it clears his own path to absolute authority.
