The Robin Hood ballads, numbering some forty separate ballads,
were written down at various times not earlier than the 14 and
15 centuries. Robin Hood is a partly historical, partly legendary
character. Most probably he lived in the second half o f the 12
century, during the reign o f Heniy II and his son Richard, the Lion
Heart. The older ballads tell us much about the Saxon yeomen,
who were famous archers and keen hunters. Being ill treated by
the Norman robber-barons, they longed to live free in the forest
with Robin as their leader. Robin Hood always helped the country
folk in their troubles. Though sheriff put a big price on Robin’s
head, Saxons didn’t betray him.
Thus, Robin was an outlaw and lived in Sherwood Forest. He
was smart and clever “with a twinkle in the eye”. Whenever the
Sheriff or the king sent out a party o f men to catch him, Robin
fought with so much vigour that his enemies, amazed at his bravery,
confessed themselves beaten and stayed with him in the forest.
They became “the merry men o f Robin Hood”.
In the 16 century many new episodes were introduced into
the ballads. They were arranged in seriesj the most popular o f
which was “The Jolly Life o f Robin Hood and His Men in
Sherwood”.
Here is one o f the best-known Robin Hood ballads in Modem
English spelling.
Robin Hood and Allan-a-Dale
Come listen to me, you gallants so free
All you that love mirth for to hear,
And I will tell you o f a bold outlaw
That lived inNottinghamshier.


As Robin Hood in the forest stood.
All under the greenwood tree.
There he was aware o f a brave young man
