| | Tuck, Friar -- Britannica Student Encyclopedia |
 | | A jovial friar whose girth and religious garb belie his fighting abilities, Friar Tuck is one of the closest companions of the legendary outlaw hero Robin Hood. |
 | | Formerly, friar was the title given to individual members of these orders, as Friar Laurence (in Romeo and Juliet), but this is no longer common. |
 | | The duke, disguised as a friar, rescues Isabella from Angelo's intrigue, saves her brother Claudio from execution; then, in his own character, weds Isabella and compels Angelo to marry his jilted sweetheart, Mariana. |
