​​#reading 🌀#vocabulary Robin Hood🏹

The legend of Robin Hood is a very old one; and it is certainly based on reality. According to one story, Robin was really an Anglo-Saxon nobleman,and he was a rebel against England's Norman rulers. After William the Conqueror conquered England in 1066, England was ruled by Norman kings and Norman barons. Most of the ordinary Anglo Saxon people accepted their new masters; but some didn't. They became outlaws, enemies of the Norman barons and the people who worked for them.

The legend tells us that he took money from the rich, and gave it to the poor. In fact, he probably took money from the Normans (who were relatively rich), and gave it to poor Anglo Saxons. This is why he soon became a legendary hero among Anglo Saxons.
