History Traditionally depicted in a green Lincoln costume, Robin Hood is known in English folklore as a heroic outlaw who stole from the rich to give to the poor. Along with his band of Merry Men, Robin Hood became a popular figure in the late Middle Ages and is still widely represented in films, television, and literature. Pieces Romantically portrayed in the "Errol Flynn" style, King Robin Hood in this set is intricately detailed with his bow, quiver, and sword. He also carries a dagger tucked in his belt. Maid Marian stands beside him in a long white dress, while the fierce King John watches. The bishop can only be Brother Tuck, comically depicted with a staff and a mug of ale in hand, as well as a lamb at his feet. The Merry Men and castle guards act as knights and pawns on both sides. The rooks are elegantly represented as trees with small shelters for the people of Sherwood Forest or as majestic castles for King John. Without a doubt, each piece is a masterpiece on its own.
