Robin Hood
Robin Hood (christened Robert) is a heroic outlaw in English folklore. A highly skilled archer and swordsman, he is known for "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor," assisted by a group of fellow outlaws known as his "Merry Men." Traditionally Robin Hood and his men are depicted wearing Lincoln green clothes. The origin of the legend is claimed by some to have stemmed from actual outlaws, or from ballads or tales of outlaws.
Sir Guy of Gisboune
Sir Guy of Gisbourne (also spelled Gisburne, Gisborne, Gysborne, or Gisborn) is a character in the Robin Hood legends of English folklore. In The Ballad of Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne (Child Ballad 118), he hunts outlawed Robin for the Sheriff of Nottingham, but Robin kills him and cuts off his head. He is described so:
"There were they ware of a wight yemàn, His body lean’d to a tree. A sword and a dagger he wore by his side, Of manye a man the bane; And he was clad in his capull-hyde [capull-hyde = horse-hide] Topp and tayll and mayne [...] ‘I dwell by dale and downe,’ quoth hee, ‘And Robin to take I’me sworne; And when I am callèd by my right name I am Guy of good Gisborne.’"
"There were they ware of a wight yemàn, His body lean’d to a tree. A sword and a dagger he wore by his side, Of manye a man the bane; And he was clad in his capull-hyde [capull-hyde = horse-hide] Topp and tayll and mayne [...] ‘I dwell by dale and downe,’ quoth hee, ‘And Robin to take I’me sworne; And when I am callèd by my right name I am Guy of good Gisborne.’"
