Marion's Men
So apparently the ‘Song of Marion’s Men’ is about Francis Marion, colonial American soldier during the American Revolution, and has nothing to do with Robin Hood. I just thought it did my entire life.
It’s thanks to Mike Duncan’s Revolutions Podcast that I made the connection. It’s a great podcast, so I’ll forgive him for ruining my childhood.
To be fair, there are still a remarkable amount of similarities. Both songs are about trees and fighting the British.
