	Dick Turpin @ Y2U.co.uk
		Richard 'Dick' Turpin was born on September 21, 1705, in the Old Post Cottage of the small village of Hempstead, near the town of Saffron Walden, in a rural part of Essex.
		Turpin was subsequently discovered in his stealing of cattle when one day he was caught in the act of stealing two oxen, and was forced to flee the area and leave his wife and business behind.
		Turpin's brother-in-law refused to pay the sixpence postage demanded, for what (he reckoned) was probably the 18th century equivalent of spam junk mail, and as such the letter was not delivered to him.

	Fantastic Victoriana: T-U
		Dick Turpin is a part of these schemes, and works for Lady Rookwood for a brief while but then separates; he considers himself a friend of Luke Rookwood, one of those Alan would avenge himself on, and takes pains not to harm Luke, even at the risk of endangering himself.
		The fictional Dick Turpin is very much a “Knight of the Road.” He prides himself on conducting himself like a gentleman at all times, like one of the old-fashioned highwaymen of which he is the last survivor, something he is keenly aware of.
		Turpin is a excellent rider and champion racer, and he is aided by the magnificent and near-magical horse Black Bess, who Turpin loves more than anything else in life and who loves him back with an intelligence quite unusual for a horse.

	Dick Turpin - Highwaymen and Highway Robbery
		Many people think of Dick Turpin as a lone highwayman, however for the majority of his criminal career he was a member of the Essex Gang (also known as the Gregory Gang).
		Turpin headed back into the familiar East Anglian countryside and lived rough for some time., until he began working with 'Captain' Tom King, one of the best-known highwaymen of the day and the kind of swashbuckling, devil-may-care character into which legend would later transform Turpin.
		The spurious legend of Dick Turpin was established in 1739 with the book Life of Richard Turpin, and sealed with the novel Rookwood (1834) by Harrison Ainsworth in which the highwayman 'Dauntless Dick Turpin' with his horse Black Bess is a secondary character.
