Highwaymen were active primarily during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, particularly in England. This period saw a rise in highway robbery as a crime due to increased road traffic and the movement of goods. Their notoriety peaked from the late 1600s to the early 1800s, before law enforcement measures and societal changes led to a decline in their activities. The romanticized image of highwaymen, such as Dick Turpin, has persisted in popular culture.
