    		Not quite.
    The Sheriff of Nottingham is an abbreviation for the High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the Royal Forests, a title that existed from 1068.
    But it was a good shot and not far from the answer.

    		This question was screaming Robin Hood from the minute I saw it, so I reckon Friar Tuck would be the one to get me my cup of Earl Grey?
