Hero Produce The Time: Robin Hood

ROBIN HOOD In the years of King Richard the Lionheart (1189-1199) there lived a brave and intelligent man called Robin Hood. He was a feared outlaw, who loved liberty and hated oppression. He took the law into his own hands and robbed the rich to give to the poor. People loved him and thought of him as a justice-maker.

It wasn't for the thrill of a hunt but rather the pride of presenting a grand beast for the guest attending his wedding banquet. Robin Hood was hoping, nay, expecting to present an elk or at least a bore to his guest. In the corner of his eye, Robin Hood noticed something strange moving in the distance.

Along the way, he hears of the three men who are sentenced to death for killing the king’s deer and begins to devise a plan to save them.

According to the article History and Tragedy in Richard II, written by Elliot, he writes “Richard is a failure as a king not because he is immoral, nor because he is too sensitive and refined for the job, but because he misunderstands the nature of kingship (260)”.
