England and Europe in the Middle Ages were ruled through a system of Feudalism. This system had strict guidelines that had to be upheld by lords as well as peasants. In the legends, Prince John broke these guidelines in several ways which upset the serfs, giving rise to heroic figures like Robin Hood. In a letter to your homeland describe Robin Hood by first outlining the basics of the Feudal system, what were the roles of lords and serfs. Second, explain how John broke these “rules” and why Robin Hood is so popular with the common people.

In many of the legends Prince John is a corrupt lord. He taxes too much and takes land without good reason. Why is this wrong, can’t
the lord take whatever he wants? NO! The Feudal system was based on strict hierarchy and social
order. Everybody has a class and rules that they have to follow. If these rules are not followed the society cannot function like it should.

Whether or not Robin Hood was a real person, his myth gives us insight into Feudal England near the end of the 12th century. In legend, Robin Hood was a bandit who stood up against royal corruption and was beloved by the common folk for it.

This lesson is designed to teach students about the feudal system through an examination of the legend of Robin Hood. The Feudal system had guidelines that both serfs and nobles had to follow in order for society to run smoothly. The legends of Robin Hood take place in a time where that structure has broken down; lords tax too much and abuse their power. Characters like Robin Hood became popular with the masses because they stood up to the corruption. By looking at the legends students can learn about Feudalism by studying its breakdown.

The Process
(Teacher)
The Process should be the same as that given to students.
If available it is possible to substitute a Robin Hood film or text for the comic strip. This is recommended if the material can show a more distinctly how the lords abused their power.

First, read the comic or watch the movie (whichever is available)
Next we must establish the norms of the Feudal System. Use the included web links or teach from the book or other materials.
Now have students think of ways in which the nobility broke the rules of the system.
Finally have the students write a letter including the standards of the system, the ways in which the nobility broke these rules, and how Robin Hood’s thievery was legitimated by the nobility’s actions.

This lesson is an excellent way to teach Feudalism through a story that nearly everyone is familiar with. It also provides a look at the system through the perspective of serfs. It is a fun and engaging method of teaching the material.
