Fan Casting Roger of Doncaster in Robin Hood and the House of Plantagenet (TV-Series)

The Prioress’s lover and the Sheriff’s most devious political fixer. A minor noble with major ambitions, Roger is the bridge between the castle and the convent, orchestrating the plot to eliminate Robin through betrayal rather than battle. He is a predator in fine clothing who prefers a poisoned cup to a sword. He is the true architect of the trap at Kirklees, manipulating his relationship with the Prioress to turn Robin’s own blood against him. Roger represents the treacherous side of the gentry—the man who sees the rebellion as a nuisance to be liquidated for personal gain. He is the cold strategist who realizes that to kill a legend, one must first strip away his sanctuary.
