Robin Hood: Sheriff
built 389 days ago
A further Germanic model for Robin Hood would be Vali, the archer god of revenge. Vali, son of Odin and Rind, goddess of the frozen earth, was conceived for the sole purpose of killing Hoder (the blind god of Darkness) in revenge for the death of Baldur (the god of Light). Robin, of course, is a clear force of vengence against the oppressive feudal hierarchy. In the early ballads, he takes savage revenge on his enemies, beheading both Guy of Gisborne and the Sheriff.

The last big screen adaption to make an impact was 1991's "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves", with Kevin Costner as Robin of Locksley, a former Crusader who returns home to find his father murdered by the corrupt sheriff. This Robin ... later discovers that Will Scarlet is his half-brother.
