The Legend of Robin Hood

Robin Hood, also known as Robert of Locksley, was, according to legend, an English outlaw who lived in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire. He was born around 1160 during the reign of King Henry II. He was famous for robbing the corrupt and wealthy Norman nobility and distributing the spoils to the poor and oppressed. He was a staunch opponent of Prince John Lackland, who had usurped power while his brother, the rightful King Richard I the Lionheart, was fighting in the Crusades. Robin Hood became a symbol of the fight for justice and loyalty to the rightful king, whom he helped restore to the throne.

Typological Classification

This sword is primarily a fantasy design inspired by the legend. However, its hilt, particularly the shape of the guard with arms pointing towards the blade, exhibits elements reminiscent of later Renaissance side-swords or rapiers rather than classic 12th-century medieval swords. This makes it a unique and stylistically interesting piece.

Care and Safe Use

Keep the sword dry and clean. Occasionally polish it with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its shine. Be careful with the gold-painted surface to avoid scratching it.
