Medieval Literature
Medieval literature became very popular at the end of the Middle Ages. Many people would tell stories about knights and battles and fairy tales. Some were true and some were not. The story “Robin Hood” was mainly based on facts.
Robin Hood was a saxton noble. He lived by Nottingham Palace and that was convenient for him, because he stole from the rich and gave to the poor. He and his Merry Men, group of acquaintances that helped him loot the rich, went around the city giving the peasants money. Maid Marion, Friar Tuck, and Little John are some of the most famous Merry Men. Maid Marion was also his love interest. Robin Hood was also an archer, and a good one at that.
