Robin Hood. a Medieval Folk Hero

 

Robin Hood is a popular medieval outlaw, whose story is told by some ballads dating from 13th and 14th centuries.

Let's find out more about this intriguing folk hero, who has been fascinating many  storytellers and film directors.

Task 1. Read the paragraph "England" contained in the entry Outlaw from Wikipedia and answer the questions:
1. Who was an outlaw?
2. Why was someone declared outlaw?
3. Where and how did outlaws live?
4. Which punishment was inflicted to anyone who killed an outlaw?
5. Did a man need to be guilty of the crime for which he was declared outlaw?
