summary of the poem the bold pedlar and robin hood

Answer 1

This ballad was printed onbroadsides as Come listen a while you Gentlemen allprinted by Clarke, Thackeray and Passinger (1684-6). The Bold Pedlar and Robin Hood is a traditional version of Robin Hood Newly Revived (Child #128). That ballad is referred to in Ritson as Robin Hood and the Stranger. Robin Hood and the Stranger was entered on the Stationers' Register March 1, 1675. The Bold Pedlar and Robin Hoodappears in Songs of the Peasantry (1857). This tune appears in Lucy Broadwood's The English and Scottish Popular Ballads. It was collected from Sussex in 1893. The ballad is also found in New England.

The name of the pedlar is Gamble Gold or Gamewell. There is speculation that this is a corruption of Gamelyn. Gamelyn is the hero in the manuscript Tale of Gamelyn(circa 1340). There is also a ballad in the Sloane Manuscript (circa 1450) about Robyn and Gandeleynwhich appears to refer to the same.

This ballad is Child Ballad#132.

There are many speculations as to the identity of Robin Hood. According to Sharp Robin Hood was born in the time of Henry II, perhaps Robert Fitzooth, perhaps the Earl of Huntington. His exploits centered around Barnsdale and Sherwood. Legend has it that he died in 1247 at the age of 87 at Kirkley's Nunnery in Yorkshire. Use the links below to explore the legend further.

Robin Hood ballads were extremely popular with the peasantry in England for several hundred years. Thirty-seven of Child's Ballads are Robin Hood ballads.

Answer 2

Answer:

A pedlar introduces himself to Robin Hood and Little John and informs them of the contents of his pack. Little John requests half of it, but the peddler refuses. This results in a fight. Finally, the pedlar triumphs after a struggle between the two of them. He introduces himself as Gamble Gold and claims to be fleeing his father's estate after killing a man there. When Robin recognises him as the son of his mother's sister, they go to the bar and drink together.

Both kids inquired about the contents of the peddler's sack. They asked him to inform them as soon as possible. The pedlar replied that he has several brightly coloured green silk outfits as well as two or three silky bowstrings. "O no, O no," exclaimed the pedlar, because no man from Nottingham had ever asked him for half of his pack.
