Regarding Erroll Flynn, though Robin Hood is the role he’s best remembered for, he was also in The Prince and the Pauper, which is another well known story.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prince_and_the_Pauper_%281937_film%29I think the Prince and the Pauper was alluded to in the characters of twin brothers Prince James and shepherd David.
For sure. However, the character that Flynn played wasn’t one of the prince/pauper boys. He was Miles Hendon:
Meanwhile, Edward (the prince in the title) finds an amused, if disbelieving protector in Miles Hendon (Errol Flynn). An attempt to assassinate the boy on the instigation of the Earl of Hertford, who fears for his power if the real king lives, changes Hendon’s opinion of Edward’s story. With Hendon’s help, Edward manages to re-enter the palace just in time to interrupt the coronation ceremony and prove his identity.
And this character on Once will be looking after a young boy.
