Robin Hood, legendary English folk hero and outlaw and champion of the poor, early 19th century.
Everyone's favourite outlaw, Robin Hood is the central character of a whole body of myths and stories that began to be told in medieval times.
Robin derives from ancient legendary figures who represented the spirit of springtime rebirth, while his sweetheart Maid Marian had her origins in the traditional festivity of the crowning of the May Queen.

 Gendering Robin Hood
To suggest that the Robin Hood myth can have a gay meaning seemed an obvious comment to make, and at a time when gender studies, looking at both male and female affective auto-construction, is a substantial item on the conceptual agenda, a comment that was worth making to provoke some thoughts and responses.
Robin Hood, the stories tell us, never had a child, never had sexual intercourse with a woman, at most kissed once an impassive actress at the very end of the film - and then scampered off like a boy.
And one of the amusing things about the Robin Hood myth is that the covert nature of its sexuality was a major reason for its enormous growth in popularity in the early twentieth century.

Nor are the virtues ascribed to Robin Hood by the makers of the ballads inferior to those which were said to be possessed by King Arthur.
Robin Hood, indeed, is as gallant and generous a hero as any to be found in English literature, and while delight in the greenwood, and love of wild things continue to glow in the hearts of healthy boys and girls, I am sure that tales of Robin Hood and his outlaws will always be welcome.

 Robin Hood
It was not safe to visit Robin Hood’s Grave in daylight hours — gamekeepers prowled the woods of Kirklees, shotguns at the ready for the apprehension of those who sought to visit the famous — or was it infamous — last resting place of England’s greatest and most beloved hero.
Robin’s grave was in the same deplorable state as I last remembered it, all green, mouldering, tumbled stones and rusted, twisted railings.
Perhaps too, the spirit of Dame Mary Startin, the prioress who bled Robin to death, glides among the phantom company of the Three Nuns Inn, reaching out with her cold hands to touch the unsuspecting bar staff, or moving things from their places, making them vanish…..This is no Blair Witch hoax.

 Robin Hood Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The bulk of the line re-uses the former Midland Railway route from Nottingham London Road to Worksop.
After crossing the town on the GNR route, the line re-joined the old MR route, where it remained as a freight line to Pye Bridge, near Ironville.
When plans for the Robin Hood Line were drawn up, it was decided to stay with the GNR route through Kirkby-in-Ashfield (as this avoided having to buy-back land), then swing south-east via Kirkby South Junction onto the former Great Central Railway main line from Manchester to London.

 The Death of Robin Hood: Introduction
In Percy's version John has been with Robin at Churchlees all the time, and Robin forbids him to take vengeance; in the garland version John arrives in response to his master's last call on his horn, but the effect is the same.
The motif in which Robin fires an arrow to locate his grave is not in the Percy version and is not mentioned in the earliest references, but it has become so potent it seems a proper part of the final frame, taken from the garland version.
The Death of Robin Hood appears to be a fairly old ballad which develops the hero's end out of the familiar materials of the tradition and with some distinctly ancient and potent elements.

 elsaf: Robin Hood
The next Robin Hood I became aware of was Errol Flynn -- and it took me quite a few years to accept this guy with the pointy beard as Robin Hood.
Meant to say, also, that some authorities consider the whole Robin Hood legend to be a reworking of "Hereward the Wake" from a century earlier and a hundred miles or so further south.
Robin will always be Michael Praed to me. I know the Herne stuff was a bit iffy, but the music by Clannad was wonderful and the visuals were just so realistic.

 Macworld: Game Room: Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood
Almost anyone with even a passing knowledge of British folklore is bound to be familiar with the legend of Robin Hood -- the noble turned rogue who took from the rich and gave to the poor as he and his band of Merry Men hid out in Sherwood Forest.
Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood uses a more simple graphics engine than many of the sophisticated 3D games out there, which helps keep its system requirements remarkably low (a G3/300MHz system, 128MB and 8MB VRAM are all you need to play).
Bottom line: Though it might not hold a visual candle to more sophisticated fare and is lacking in the replay department, Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood will appeal to users of older Macs looking for some fun strategy gaming.

Poems and stories about the exploits of Robin Hood, Little John, Will Scarlet, and the rest of his Merry Men multiplied and grew with the telling over the following centuries, and his tales were among the first to be gathered and printed in books, when printing was introduced to England in the 16th century.
In modern times, local signage describes Nottinghamshire as “Robin Hood County”, and uses a bow and arrow to direct travellers; a railway between Nottingham and Worksop was dubbed “The Robin Hood Line”.
