Robin Hood



Robin Hood was a legendary robber of the Middle Ages (in England), who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Robin Hood was an excellent archer who lived in the Sherwood Forest with the fair Maid Marian, the stalwart Little John, the friar Tuck, the musician Alan a Dale, and thieves who helped him rob rich landlords and thwart his chief enemy, The Sheriff of Nottingham.

Robin Hood was a twelfth century hero in England. He appears in William Langland's Piers Plowman and many middle English ballads.
