Well they robbed on foot or horse. ( Mostly foot.)

They were mainly in Great Britain and Australia.

They were in the nineteenth century.

They never said Stand and Deliver

In America they were known as Road Agents

In Australia, they called them bush hangers.

They always hid and caught people by surprise.

The word Highwaymen was first used in 1617.

Robin Hood was also a highwayman, but he never robbed from the rich to give to the poor.

It was a male dominated occupation.

There were also female highwaymen (Moll Cutpurse, Lady Elizabeth Mullgrew etc)

They had their own language, known as cantig.
