RBW Robin Hood Rescuing Three Squires: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I would not be surprised if the poem takes the incident from Munday rather than the reverse.Īnd yet, it is Child's opinion that "Robin Hood Rescuing Will Stutly" is an "imitation" of this piece, which means it must predate the 1663 garland which contains "Will Stutly." Also, there are several garland prints of this, all undated, but this strongly hints at a date before 1675. The ballad feels like a seventeenth, or even eighteenth, century composition, by a literary hack who is trying to imitate true ballad style (and not succeeding very well). Knight/Ohlgren think that Munday borrowed the story. 513, notes the interesting fact that this is the only ballad incident to appear in the plays of Anthony Munday, who seems to have thrown the Robin Hood legend in a very different (and less attractive) direction after the appearance of the plays in 1598-1599.
