Robin Hood, "The King of the Woods", the outlaw who wandered through Sherwood Forest at the beginning of the 14th century, was born around 1290, son of Adam Hood, a forester in the service of the Earl of Warenne and lord of the Lordship of Wakefield.
Robin became a popular hero for his defense of the homeless; 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 woods continued until about 1346; He is said to have died in that year at Kirklees Monastery.
The story ends when Robin Hood, with his sword in hand, manages to blow his hunting horn for the last time before dying by shooting an arrow from the window of his room in the direction of the forest and asking to be buried in the place where the arrow would have fallen. Even today it is possible to see the site that Robin chose as his grave.
That of Robin Hood is a romantic story that has remained 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 Robin Hood's mythical sword.
