The.Real.Robin.Hood.2010.HDTV.XviD-FQM

His story is one of the most familiar of all English folk tales the leader of a band of merry renegades, who corrects society's injustices by stealing from the rich to give to the poor. But is there any basis in truth behind the tales of Robin Hood? Take a journey in search of the answer...

Robin Hood was a legendary outlaw hero of a series of English ballads, some of which date from at least as early as the 14th century. Robin Hood was a rebel, and many of the most striking episodes in the tales about him show him and his companions robbing and killing representatives of authority and giving the gains to the poor. Their most frequent enemy was the Sheriff of Nottingham, a local agent of the central government (though internal evidence from the early ballads makes it clear that the action took place chiefly in south Yorkshire, not in Nottinghamshire). Other enemies included wealthy ecclesiastical landowners. Robin treated women, the poor, and people of humble status with courtesy. A good deal of the impetus for his revolt against authority stemmed from popular resentment over those laws of the forest that restricted hunting rights. The early ballads, especially, reveal the cruelty that was an inescapable part of medieval life.
