Robin Hood, "The King of the Forest," the outlaw who roamed Sherwood Forest in the early 14th century, was born around 1290, the son of Adam Hood, a forester in the service of the Earl of Warenne and lord of the Manor of Wakefield.
Robin became a popular hero for his defense of the helpless; Robin Hood's sword was always at the service of the poor. He seized the wealth of the powerful and distributed it among the poor; furthermore, by mocking the unpopular authorities of that time, he gained the support of the oppressed peasants.
Robin Hood's adventures in the forests continued until around 1346; he is said to have died that year in Kirklees Monastery.
The story ends when Robin Hood, with sword in hand, manages to sound his hunting horn one last time before dying by shooting an arrow from his room window towards the forest and asking to be buried where the arrow had fallen. Even today, it is possible to see the spot Robin chose as his grave.
Robin Hood's is a romantic story that has been kept alive and has been told and retold for 600 years, giving rise to a series of creations, among which we can highlight the reconstruction of the mythical Robin Hood sword.
