Introduction
You know the story of Robin Hood and the Men in tights but do you want to know the real story? We are going to look and see the magic and folklore to the story and what makes it what we know today
The Tale
The Tale of Robin Hood is that there was a man back in the 14th century who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. ” In 14th-century England, where agrarian discontent had begun to chip away at the feudal system, he appears as an anti-establishment rebel who murders government agents and wealthy landowners. “
One Story
“Robin Hood is no longer just an outlaw living in the forest, he is now a war veteran. He is a serious suitor to Maid Marian and he is pitted against the evils of Guy of Gisburn rather than the traditional baddie, the Sheriff of Nottingham. All the characters remain in place it is just that some of the roles have been exchanged.”
Modern Version
There hasn’t been much of a difference i what the main story is about because they make the same references for each story. “The good outlaw is a figure with as much mythic force as other heroic figures”
