Robin Hood

Some of the retellings of the legend of Robin Hood place him in the era of King John, thought he has been similarly dated to Henry II, Richard and various of the Edwards. He certainly works as a pantomine villain, the image of Bad King John against people's hero Robin Hood.

Robin Hood is supposed to be a famous outlaw.

Certainly! Being a robber involves a lot of expenses and he had to cover those somehow. And back in those days people were constantly saving for their retirements as there were no pensions beyond those provided for the nobility or ecclesiastical elite.

No he was a fictional character very well told story but.

The story comes from the 1200's when it was an oral poem. People couldn't read so stories were created that were poems. They were easy to remember and to retell. Through the ages the story has changed. Characters have been added, changed, and forgotten. In modern times the story keeps changing because of the movies and new books. The term " hood" was used for the highway robber of the time because they wore a hood over the face. Anyone who was a criminal was a "hood".

Not at all. Today he might be seen as gay because of the tight clothing he wore, but in those times his clothing was rather common.

technically yes, because he uses" the use of violence for the achievement of political ends" but he is also our contries great legend, and he was only doing it because the learders were totally corrupt and he wanted to help the poor

The idea of a single man, or a group of men, fighting injustice and tyranny makes us feel like we can win against any odds and inspires us to the same. It's an idea mirrored in that of the founding of this nation, that the weak can topple the strong, and that the just will always triumph over the unjust.

This was first written by the American author Howard Pyle- it's full title was The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood. Born in 1853, Pyle originally worked as an artist, specialising in book illustration. For much of his early life he lived in New York City, before returning to his home town of Wilmington in Delaware in 1879 and turning to authorship. In the last 30 years of his life he produced a great number of novels and other works, Robin Hood included. He died in 1911, at the age of only 58.

Robin Hood is a story that comes from about 1225 and was an oral story told to people. Eventually, it evolved and was written down, characters were added, and the story grew to what it is today. He never existed or is a composite of several people who were highway men.

The Latin name is Quercus robur. According to local legend, the legendary Robin Hood had a favorite hideout. That hideout was inside a huge oak tree. The tree came to be called the Cockpen Tree by the mid-1700s. Inside its cavity fighting cocks used to be stored before the games. Once cockfighting had fallen into disfavor, the tree came to be called the Queen's Oak. The last name change was to the Major oak. The Major oak was so named to honor Major Hayman Rooke [Baptized February 20, 1723-September 1806]. In 1790, Rooke wrote and published a book entitled 'Remarkable Oaks' about nine historic oaks of England. One such remarkable oak was the Cockpen/Queen's/Major oak. The Major oak has the reputation of being the biggest oak in England. Nowadays, it reaches a height of 19 meters/52 feet, a girth of 10 meters/33 feet around the main trunk, and a canopy spread of 28 meters/92 feet. About every 3-4 years, it still produces an acorn crop that may number as many as 150,000. England boasts about 500 species of oaks. But the Major oak is a member of one of the two oaks species native to England. Its membership is in the Pedunculate or English oak species, whose Latin name is Quercus robur. The other oak native to England is the sessile or Durmast oak, whose Latin name is Quercus petraea.
