Round 27 - Real Life Robin Hood

This week the girls take aim at... Real Life Robin Hoods

Bianca opened with a shallow dive into whether Robin Hood was real or not... turns out no one really knows.

After that, she cracked into her real life, Robin Hood - Jacques René Mesrine. He lived an amazing life and petitioned for better conditions in the french prison systems.

Amy got to be the meat in the sandwich this week and regaled us all with the tale of Nakamura Jirokichi or better known as Nezumi Kozo (aka the Rat Kid). Rat Kid was a Japanese Robin Hood who, as the legend goes, stole from wealthy Samurai and gave to the poor. How much of this is true is questionable but it makes a great story.

Sarah finished us off with the story of Bulla Felix who could have been the first Robin Hood in history he was an ancient Roman!
