Robin Hood, a Cowboy?

Robin Hood

Robin Fitzooth otherwise known as Robin Hood was on a personal quest to bring justice to a corrupt Nottingham and Prince John along with his crooked sidekick the sheriff. All very cowboy like behaviors right?
Eventually Hood left Nottingham and moved into near by Sherwood Forest to conceive a plan to right the wrongs of Nottingham.  Hood was an excellent archer and a would get justice for the murder of his father and the mismanaged authority.  The story and character of Hood is good verses evil and as in many other tales good prevails.  Hood was not a typical iconic looking  "Cowboy" wearing a wide brimmed hat with a gun, and stirrups.  Was he a cowboy wearing tights?  A spoof was made of this tale in later years; Robin Hood: Men in Tights, a must see clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G59JnM4JKNQ , does this make him less manly?   In fact the only similarity between a "Western Cowboy" would be getting around on a horse.  Hood in the story carried out the same duties associated with "Cowboy".   As in any good story after good triumphs over evil, the hero gets the girl.  This tale is no different, ending with Hood and Lady Marian

The marriage of Lady Marian and Sir Robin Hood

This tale is no different, ending with Hood and Lady Marian living happily every after.
