The history behind this Robin Hood chess set

Robin Hood, a legendary figure in English folklore, has captivated audiences for centuries with his tales of bravery, cunning, and a steadfast commitment to justice. Emerging during the late medieval period, Robin Hood is traditionally portrayed as a highly skilled archer and swordsman. Dressed in his iconic Lincoln green attire, he is best known for "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor," acting as a champion for the underprivileged and oppressed.
