Reply To: TVLine: Matt's Inside Line 2/16 – Robin Hood and Lily

I am probably over-reaching, but one of King Arthur’s Knights of the Round table, Ywain/Owain, was associated with the lion.

I am wondering whether Robin Hood is just a label given to a man who assumes this role, and that ”Robin Hood”/Sean Macguire has a real name that is different, like Ywain. Or maybe he is a descendant of Ywain.

The tattoo could also refer to King Richard, but I am looking for any reason to include the reincarnation of Arthur (”he will appear again when his people need him the most” etc) Morgana and Merlin at the moment haha.

(I also would like to see Regina and Merlin (or Arthur) to be end game hahaha).

(This idea would also mean that ”Robin Hood” had been lying to Regina about his real identity ;(  )
