Robin Hood
In English legend, an outlaw and champion of the poor against the rich, said to have lived in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, during the reign of Richard I (1189–99). He feuded with the sheriff of Nottingham, accompanied by Maid Marian and a band of followers known as his ‘merry men’. He appears in many popular ballads from the 13th century, but his first datable appearance is in William Langland's Piers Plowman in the late 14th century. He became popular in the 15th century.
