    When we hear or see the name Robin Hood, we think of the heroic outlaw in the English folklore who, according to legend, was a highly skilled archer and swordsman. Traditionally depicted as being dressed in Lincoln green, he is often portrayed as “robbing from the rich and giving the poor” alongside his band of Merry Men. Robin Hood became a popular folk figure in the late-medieval period, and continues to be widely represented in literature, films and television. The nonprofit organization located in New York, the Robin Hood Foundation has a legal philosophy of “taking from the rich and giving to the poor”.

    The legend of Robin Hood has been around for nearly one thousand years. For the past several hundred years, Robin and his Merry Men have been known for stealing from the rich, particularly tax collectors, and giving to the poor; however, because this is still stealing and Robin had also killed at least one of the king’s deer, Robin and his men were known as outlaws. While they may have been outlaws, Robin Hood and his Merry Men were more like knights in the way that they dealt honorably with opponents in battle, defended the weak and helpless, and protected women and children.…

    “Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest, laughing back and forth at the what the other'ne has to say... Oo-De-Lally, Oo-de-lally Golly, what a day.” When many Americans hear the name “Robin Hood,” these lyrics from the Disney animated movie come to mind. Howard Pyle, who wrote The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, which was published in 1883, did not write those words, but he did write an entertaining, adventurous book for not only children, but also for teens and adults. Robin Hood is a hero to the poor, but an annoyance to the rich. The book begins with Robin Hood and his gang, called the Merry Men, in Sherwood Forrest, where they live. Robin is an outlaw and an enemy of the Sheriff of Nottingham because he has killed the king's…

    The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood was written by Howard Pyle. In chapters five to eight we see how the sheriff is trying to catch Robin, and we see how smart and clever Robin’s comebacks are. We see that no matter how hard the sheriff tries to catch him, he is no match for Robin. We see how Robin makes friends with a butcher, tricks the sheriff into paying for a huge meal with the merry men and him, and Little John gets fat and homesick and wants to go back to Robin and the merry men.…

    Modern Robin Hood Legends

    • 1021 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Over this period, England’s poor glorified the idea of a noble outlaw. Everyday outlaws were commonplace in medieval England, men such as Eustace Folville and his brother roamed the forests, preying on travelers. It is likely that many facets of Robin Hood’s existence are grounded in the reality of real forest dwelling outlaws. However, the man who first appeared in the ballads wasn’t just any outlaw. He was a noble outlaw, loyal to his men and adhering to a strict, if unusual, code of morals. He was of a different breed than his predecessors and contemporaries, none of whom could match his skill with a bow or knack for trickery. According to the ballads, Robin was a yeoman – neither unusually poor, nor a member of high society, but rather a commoner. Most tales indicate that he was a farmer or a forester, both of whom would have worn earth-colored clothes, not dissimilar from the Lincoln Green garb of legend. They also agree that foremost amongst his band was a very large man known as Little John. Other prominent fellows in both early and late tellings are Much the Miller’s Son and Will Scarlet. Interestingly, though Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire is best known as home to Robin Hood, one of the earliest and most complete ballads, A Gest of Robyn Hode, indicates that the outlaw is in fact from Yorkshire. This text also supports claims that Robin Hood was quite devout, with a particular affinity for the Virgin Mary, though he cared very little for wealthy clergymen (Rennison 14). Other early ballads establish the idea that Robin was a trickster and master of disguise, traits which manifested themselves most frequently against the Sherriff of Nottingham. If the Sheriff were not available to be taunted and relieved of his belongings by Robin Hood, the next favorite…

    Robin Hood Case Study

    • 3673 Words
    • 15 Pages

    Robin Hood is facing numerous problems and issues, but I think the most pressing problem is the fact that the band of Merrymen has far outgrown the available resources in Sherwood Forest. Robin Hood’s faith in succeeding by strength in numbers is quickly becoming a contributor to their downfall. Income is low at this point as well, so purchasing supplies, whether near or far, will soon become impossible. If the men aren’t fed, the men can’t function. Not only is the lack of available resources a problem, but the group itself is unorganized and is lacking sufficient leadership. The issue of the group’s decline in vigilance and discipline could lead to dire consequences, especially with the Sheriff actively searching for the band’s weaknesses, and this needs to be resolved immediately.…
