Matter of the Greenwood Document
Robin Hood and the Curtal Friar
- Summary
- Robin makes the friar carry him across a stream, the friar dumps him in it, and they fight to a standstill before the friar joins the band. Child 123. The comic-combat-recruitment pattern that most of the later ballads reuse.
