They have antagonized the tyrannical rule of <a href="/wiki/John,_King_of_England" title="John, King of England">Prince John</a> while <a href="/wiki/Richard_I_of_England" title="Richard I of England">King Richard</a> is fighting in the <a href="/wiki/Crusades" title="Crusades">Crusades</a>.

Joining them are between 20 and "seven <a href="/wiki/20_(number)" title="20 (number)">score</a>" (140) outlawed <a href="/wiki/Yeoman" title="Yeoman">yeomen</a>. The most prominent of the Merry Men is Robin's second-in-command, <a href="/wiki/Little_John" title="Little John">Little John</a>. He appears in the earliest ballads, and is mentioned in even earlier sources, such as <a href="/wiki/Andrew_of_Wyntoun" title="Andrew of Wyntoun">Andrew of Wyntoun</a>'s <i>Orygynale Chronicle</i> of around 1420 and <a href="/wiki/Walter_Bower" title="Walter Bower">Walter Bower</a>'s expansion of the <i><a href="/wiki/Scotichronicon" title="Scotichronicon">Scotichronicon</a></i>, completed around 1440. Later ballads name additional Merry Men, some of whom appear in only one or two ballads, while others, like the minstrel <a href="/wiki/Alan-a-Dale" title="Alan-a-Dale">Alan-a-Dale</a> and the jovial <a href="/wiki/Friar_Tuck" title="Friar Tuck">Friar Tuck</a>, became fully attached to the legend. Several of the Robin Hood ballads tell the story of how individual Merry Men join the group; this is frequently accomplished by defeating Robin in a duel. </p><p>The phrase "merry man" was originally a generic term for any follower or companion of an outlaw, knight, or similar leader.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Robin's band are called "mery men" in the oldest known Robin Hood ballad, "<a href="/wiki/Robin_Hood_and_the_Monk" title="Robin Hood and the Monk">Robin Hood and the Monk</a>",<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which survives in a manuscript completed after 1450.<sup id="cite_ref-The_Monk_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-The_Monk-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Known_members">Known members</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Merry_Men&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Known members"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/Little_John" title="Little John">Little John</a></b> – Robin Hood's lieutenant.

Later stories depict him as one of the youngest of the Merry Men.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Will_Scarlet" title="Will Scarlet">Will Scarlet</a></b> – Another very early companion, appearing in ballads like "<a href="/wiki/A_Gest_of_Robyn_Hode" title="A Gest of Robyn Hode">A Gest of Robyn Hode</a>". In "<a href="/wiki/Robin_Hood_Newly_Revived" title="Robin Hood Newly Revived">Robin Hood Newly Revived</a>" he is a skilled swordsman and Robin's nephew.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Arthur_a_Bland" title="Arthur a Bland">Arthur a Bland</a></b> – He appears in only one ballad, "<a href="/wiki/Robin_Hood_and_the_Tanner" title="Robin Hood and the Tanner">Robin Hood and the Tanner</a>".

For example, in <i>Stories of Robin Hood and His Merry Outlaws</i> by J. Walker McSpadden, he is made a "merry cobbler" and again warns Robin of the dangers of the archery competition, appearing only otherwise in the scene with King Richard in the woods.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Peacock" title="Daniel Peacock">Daniel Peacock</a> portrayed him in the 1991 film, <a href="/wiki/Robin_Hood:_Prince_of_Thieves" title="Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves">Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves</a>, though his character went by the nickname "Bull". In <a href="/wiki/Clayton_Emery" title="Clayton Emery">Clayton Emery</a>'s <i>Tales of Robin Hood</i>, David is a dependable Merry Man who wears his dark hair long since Royal Foresters cut off his ears.</li></ul> <dl><dd>He features more frequently in <a href="/wiki/Howard_Pyle" title="Howard Pyle">Howard Pyle</a>'s work. In <i><a href="/wiki/The_Merry_Adventures_of_Robin_Hood" title="The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood">The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood</a></i>, he appears as one of the youngest in the band, and a wrestler. As in <i>Robin Hood and the Golden Arrow</i>, he warns Robin that a competition is a trap, inspiring Robin to take the same precautions as in the ballad, but also in other tales. In <i><a href="/wiki/A_Gest_of_Robyn_Hode" title="A Gest of Robyn Hode">A Gest of Robyn Hode</a></i>, Sir <a href="/wiki/Richard_at_the_Lee" title="Richard at the Lee">Richard at the Lee</a> saves an anonymous yeoman wrestler, who had won in a bout but was nearly murdered because he was a stranger, and apologised for the delay, with Robin saying that helping any yeomen pleases him, but in Pyle's account, the wrestler is David of Doncaster, and Robin is deeply grateful. He also appears in various other adventures as a minor character; where <i><a href="/wiki/Robin_Hood_Rescuing_Will_Stutly" title="Robin Hood Rescuing Will Stutly">Robin Hood Rescuing Will Stutly</a></i> has an unnamed "brave young man" questioning a palmer to learn about the hanging, Pyle specifies that it is David who asks.</dd></dl> <ul><li><b>Will Stutely</b> – He appears in two ballads, "<a href="/wiki/Robin_Hood_and_Little_John" title="Robin Hood and Little John">Robin Hood and Little John</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Robin_Hood_Rescuing_Will_Stutly" title="Robin Hood Rescuing Will Stutly">Robin Hood Rescuing Will Stutly</a>". In the former, he gives Little John his outlaw name; in the latter, he must be rescued after he is caught spying by the Sheriff of Nottingham. He is occasionally confused with Will Scarlet. Stutely appears in the occasional film and various Robin Hood children's novels, such as <a href="/wiki/Howard_Pyle" title="Howard Pyle">Howard Pyle</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/The_Merry_Adventures_of_Robin_Hood" title="The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood">The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood</a></i>, which includes the tale of Will's rescue and also mentions that he likes to play pranks.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Friar_Tuck" title="Friar Tuck">Friar Tuck</a></b> – The resident Clergyman of the band. Tuck developed separately from the Robin Hood tradition; similar characters appear in 15th- and 16th-century plays, and an early 15th-century outlaw used the alias Friar Tuck.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A fighting friar appears in the ballad "<a href="/wiki/Robin_Hood_and_the_Curtal_Friar" title="Robin Hood and the Curtal Friar">Robin Hood and the Curtal Friar</a>", though he is not named. Robin and the friar engage in a battle of wits, which at one point involves the holy man carrying the outlaw across a river, only to toss him in. In the end, the friar joins the Merry Men. Later stories portray Tuck as more ale-loving and jovial than belligerent.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Alan-a-Dale" title="Alan-a-Dale">Alan-a-Dale</a></b> – A roving <a href="/wiki/Minstrel" title="Minstrel">minstrel</a>. He appears in the later ballad "<a href="/wiki/Robin_Hood_and_Allan-a-Dale" title="Robin Hood and Allan-a-Dale">Robin Hood and Allan-a-Dale</a>", in which Robin helps him rescue his sweetheart who is being forced into marriage with another man. Despite his relatively late appearance, he became a popular character in later versions.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Gilbert_Whitehand" title="Gilbert Whitehand">Gilbert Whitehand</a></b> (or <b>Gilbert with the White Hand</b>) – Portrayed in "A Gest of Robyn Hode" as a skilled archer nearly equal to Robin.

Marian developed separately from the Robin Hood tradition; the medieval French play <i><a href="/wiki/Jeu_de_Robin_et_Marion" title="Jeu de Robin et Marion">Jeu de Robin et Marion</a></i> tells the story of the shepherdess Marian and the knight Robin, and is unrelated to Robin Hood.
