 The Merry Adventures Of Robin Hood
comment
An 1883 novel by the American illustrator and writer Howard Pyle. Drawing on traditional medieval ballads, Pyle compiled stories of the famous outlaw Robin Hood and his friends into an episodic, coherent narrative. The novel's characterization of Robin Hood as unambiguously heroic influenced later depictions of the character.

Defeat Means Friendship: A very frequently used trope. Little John, Friar Tuck, the Sheriff's Cook, and more all join Robin Hood after fighting either Robin himself or one of his men.

Adaptational Heroism
 The Merry Adventures Of Robin Hood / int_3f45f1e6
comment
Adaptational Heroism: As the book is the Trope Codifier for a lot of modern Robin Hood Tropes, the Sherrif of Nottingham is almost reasonable. He only pursues Robin with such tenacity due to the bounty on his head, and the fact that Robin killed someone he was related to. The worst the Sherriff does is obey legal orders and laws with malicious glee. At one point Robin actually returns the Sherriff's silverware as the Sherriff hasn't actually wronged any of his subjects. If anything his Nemesis is actually Little John from how often the man steals or otherwise messes with the Sherriff. Robin Hood himself as the first chapter is adapted from a 17th century story where Robin killed 14 men for not honoring a bet to killing one man in the heat of the moment in self defense.

King Incognito: King Richard disguises himself as a friar, knowing the habit will make him an ideal victim for Robin Hood. The disguise allows him to spend time with the outlaws in Sherwood Forest (though he reveals his true identity at the end of his visit).

Ridiculous Repossession: Sir Richard was in danger of losing his castle, his possestions, and all of his land for want of 400 Pounds. While a significant amount of money, everything he would lose would be worth an order of magnitude more.

It Amused Me: The reason Little John entered into the Sherriff's service. He was going to do it for a bit as a laugh, but got distracted by the sheer quality and quantity of food and drink the Sherriff had.

Tap on the Head: A lot of people get knocked out, sometimes repeatedly, with no harm coming to them. Though the Author does detail how hard of a blow it takes to knock someone out.

comment
Batman Grabs a Gun: Robin Hood swore to never kill another person after he killed one of the King's Foresters after the man shot an arrow at him in anger. He deeply regretted killing a man in the heat and anger of his youth. When faced against Guy of Gisbourne, Robin goes for the kill with little jesting or bantering. Robin even notes that he feels nothing like when he killed the Forester and feels more like he killed a boar that was destroying the forest.

Accidental Murder
 The Merry Adventures Of Robin Hood / int_fd497706
comment
Accidental Murder: Sir Richard's son accidentally killed a knight during a joust. The incident was such a fluke, the joust managing to perfectly slip through the visor and through the eye socket into his brain, that it was considered intentional. Which leads to Sir Richard in danger of losing his land.
