Highwaymen were most prominent during the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly in England, although they existed in various forms across Europe. Their peak was roughly between the 1650s and the 1800s, a period characterized by increased road travel and trade. The decline of highway robbery began in the early 19th century with improved law enforcement and changes in transportation. While the term "highwayman" is often associated with this era, similar criminal activities have existed throughout history.
