Robin Hood, the valiant outlaw, first sprang forth in the ballads of the 14th century, his tales sung by bards and etched into the hearts of the people. The allegorical Piers Plowman marked his early appearances, and A Gest of Robyn Hode, printed ere the dawn of the 16th century, cemented his place in the annals of lore. In those early days, Robin was rough-hewn and fierce, a guerilla fighter for the oppressed.
Historians such as Rodney Hilton have since argued that Robin Hood embodied the spirit of the emerging free peasantry, a beacon of hope against the injustices of an unequal world.
