A traditionary English outlaw and popular hero. He is said to have been born at Locksley, Nottingham shire, about 1160.

He is also said to have been the outlawed Earl of Hunting don. He was extravagant and adventurous, and though kind to the poor robbed the rich. According to one tradition the priore of Kirkley, to whose care he had intrusted himself to be bled when he was a very old man, treacherously allowed him to bleed to death. His companions were Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, Little John, Will Scarlett, Allen-a-Dale, and George-a-Greene.

They portrayed the adventures of Robin and his band, but were which, being a proce ion interspersed with dances, had a tendency to absorb the characters of the others. A stop was put to the whole at the Reformation, when penalties were imposed by act of Parliament upon the performers. Ritson . Child . Diligent enquiries have been made to ascertain whether the person a gens Robin Hood had a real existener, legendary, theories in regard to him have been advanced beyond hypothesis. It is exceedingly prob able that such a man lived in the 12th or 13th century, and that the exploits of other le prominent popular heroes were connected with his name and absorbed in his reputation. The noble descent which has often been ascribed to him is in all likelihood the result of the medieval idea that the great virtues existed only in persons of gentle Tucker man , Hist. of Prose Fiction, p. 48. birth.
