HISTORY Traditionally depicted in a green Lincolnshire outfit, Robin Hood is known in English folklore as a heroic outlaw who stole from the rich to give to the poor. Together with his band of Merry Men, Robin Hood became a popular figure in the late Middle Ages and remains widely featured in films, television, and literature. PIECES Romantically portrayed in the "Errol Flynn" style, King Robin Hood in this set is masterfully crafted with his bow, quiver, and sword. He even carries a dagger tucked into his belt. Marian stands beside him in a long white gown, while the fierce King John watches over. The bishop can only be Friar Tuck, humorously depicted with a staff, a mug of ale in hand, and a lamb at his feet. The Merry Men and castle guards serve as knights and pawns for both sides. The rooks are elegantly designed as trees with tiny dwellings hidden within for the Sherwood Forest folk or as majestic castles for King John. Each piece is a standalone work of art.
