Answer:
Francis James Child is the poet of the bold pedlar and Robbin hood
This ballad was printed on broad sides as Come listen a while you Gentlemen all printed 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 Game well. 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.
