Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Who is a friend of Will Scarlet and a foe of the Sheriff of Nottingham?"
...The outlaw Robin Hood first appears in medieval English ballads and folk stories, and has never really gone out of style. His other friends include Little John, Maid Marian, and Friar Tuck. One of the most fascinating modern versions of the Robin Hood legend is the 1980s British television series "Robin of Sherwood." King John is often pitted against Robin Hood in the tales. He is no friend of Will Scarlet and no foe of the Sheriff of Nottingham. The real King John signed England's Magna Carta in 1215. Billy the Kid was an American outlaw in the Old West. Aragorn, AKA Strider, is a creation of J.R.R.Tolkien in his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
