Fan Casting Nicola de la Haie in Robin Hood and the House of Plantagenet (TV-Series)

The iron-willed Constable of Lincoln Castle and a veteran strategist of the Plantagenet power struggles. As the heiress of the de la Haie line, she views her authority not as a royal favor, but as a hard-won bloodright that she must defend at any cost. Nicola is a stalwart anchor for Prince John’s northern ambitions, famously holding Lincoln’s gates against the mercenaries of the regent William de Longchamp to secure the region for the Prince's cause. She operates with a fierce, protective mindset, functioning as a vital link in John's network to safeguard her ancestral seat against the fractured regency. In a court dominated by Eleanor’s shadow, Nicola stands as a formidable wall, holding the keys to the north as a loyal instrument of John’s rise to power.
