In the late Middle Ages, ballads were popular in various Germanic countries such as the Nordic countries, Iceland, England, and Scotland. and Spain in southern Europe. Among them, the British group of ballads "The Ballads of Robin Hood" (about 40 songs have been preserved) has achieved greater success. Robin Hood was born a free farmer. It is said that he lived in the twelfth century. He could not bear the feudal oppression and fled to the green forest, becoming "a person not protected by the law". He teamed up with some farmers and craftsmen who were also oppressed by feudal lords, and went out into green forests and towns, specializing in robbing rich men and big monks, helping the bullied poor, and fighting tenaciously against the officials, landlords, and monks who pursued them. He is a good archer, very brave, resourceful, heroic and confident in defeating the enemy. Although he refused to serve the king and hunted the king's deer in the woods, he did not regard the king as an enemy. The artistic characteristics of ballads are strong storytelling, often unexpected plots, many dialogues, and rich lyricism. The ballad of Robin Hood was widely circulated in the fourteenth and fifth centuries, and was often used by writers during the Renaissance and nineteenth century. Legends similar to Robin Hood exist in many countries, such as the Norwegian archer Aegir and the Swiss archer William Tell, which all reflect the peasants' struggle against violence. The ballad is a poetic form that is still popular in some countries today.
