Robin Hood and his — how many merry men??! #history #folklore

It has been a little bit quiet on the blog these past weeks, and I do apologies for that. I am rather caught up in writing Book 3 of The Du Lac Chronicles, but I haven't forgotten you, I promise!
If you are a regular reader of this blog then you know that I had just started to research the life and times of Robin Hood late last year, but what with the release of The Du Lac Devil and Christmas, I got a little side-tracked, but I am back on the straight and narrow, and I am keen to find out more about the elusive Robin Hood.


Let's have a quick recap of what I have talked about before and if you have missed any of the posts you can catch up!
Where do we start looking for the real Robin Hood Is this the real Robin HoodMy search for Robin Hood continues... #Legends #Sherwood #RobinHoodRobin Hood & King Richard ~ the strangest alliance in history.  Robin Hood and the dishonourable Prince John 


Continuing from where I left off, I want to have a look at Robin’s band of merry men.
I wonder, how many merry men can you list?
Little John ~ the tall guy who was good with a stick.Friar Tuck ~ the monk.Will Scarlett ~ the bad tempered one.Much the Miller's son ~ the simpleton.Maid Marion ~ Robin’s bride.
How about...?Alan-a-Dale David of Doncaster
Can you think of any more?
