Late 1100s CE: ROBIN HOOD SAGA unfolds

In popular culture, (perhaps mythical, perhaps based on fact) Robin Hood is driven to outlawry during the misrule of King John of England, the “bad guy” brother of Richard the Lion–Hearted (who was “out of town” leading the Third Crusade).

Robin Hood and his Merry Men hung out in Sherwood Forest. They often tangle with the Sheriff of Nottingham when Robin Hood is not busy giving away his “winnings” to the poor, or flirting with Maid Marian.

And just where is Friar Tuck when you need him?
