The problem is, this is not fictional:
Wikipedia: Richard I of England - Captivity, ransom and return (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_I_of_England#Captivity.2C_ransom_and_return)
As for the Augustin fellow, he appears to have fictionalised himself:
Wikipedia: Marx Augustin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_Augustin).
Marx Augustin (also Markus Augustin, "Der Liebe Augustin") (1643, Vienna – 11 March 1685, (or 10 October 1705), Vienna) was an Austrian minstrel, bagpiper, and improvisatory poet most famous for the song, O du lieber Augustin, which is attributed to him.
Whoever devised this set has confused the boundaries of fact and fiction. It should have been rejected as a concept before ever being minted.
The arrest is certainly not fictional, but the fictional Robin Hood, dressed as a minstrel (though a minstrel wouldn't ride a horse), communicating by song with the captive king is a scene dreamed up by Sir Walter Scott.
