Who is the Scottish outlaw of the 18th century who is sometimes called as the Scottish Robin Hood? (hint: also the name of a Manhattan like cocktail)
"was an 18th-century McDuck relative. Sometime after 1707, he became an associate of Scottish outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor who is characterized as a noble thief who would ""rob from the rich to give to the poor"". Lockely's alliance with MacGregor would come to an end after Locksley was unable to ""give to the poor"" after having robbed the rich. He is mentioned in ""The History of The Clan McDuck"" by Don Rosa. His name is derived from ""Robin of Loxley"", a traditional name for Robin Hood.

"Black Morrow Black Morrow, also known as Black Murray and Outlaw Murray, is the name given to a late 15th century Scottish outlaw. A popular ballad makes the bandit as living in Ettrick Forest, while a recorded oral tradition, a wood in Kirkcudbrightshire. In the tradition, the outlaw is described as a Gypsy, Moor, a Saracen or, more commonly, an Irishman or from Ireland. The folklorist David MacRitchie took a strong interest in the ethnicity of the outlaw because of his dark skin, and the story is commonly quoted in modern Afrocentrist literature. Others however (e.g. John Mactaggart) have disputed"

According to Stephen Dunford, ""He is likely to have seen himself as one of the chieftains of the clan and therefore honour-bound to exact justice."" Although Redmond O'Hanlon has often been compared to a real-life Robin Hood, the truth is more complex. Like a Scottish clan chief of the same era, O'Hanlon operated an extralegal Watch over the Anglo-Irish landowners and Ulster Scots merchants of Armagh, Tyrone, and Down. In return for an annual fee, O'Hanlon retrieved cattle and horses stolen from herds under his Watch and paid"

Jánošík has been the main character of many Slovak novels, poems and films. According to the legend, he robbed nobles and gave the loot to the poor, a deed often attributed to the famous Robin Hood. The legend is also known in neighbouring Poland and the Czech Republic. The actual robber had little to do with the modern legend, whose content partly reflects the ubiquitous folk myths of a hero taking from the rich and"

The earliest known legal records mentioning a person called Robin Hood (Robert Hod) are from 1226, found in the York Assizes, when that person's goods, worth 32 shillings and 6 pence, were confiscated and he became an outlaw. Robert Hod owed the money to St Peter's in York. The following year, he was called ""Hobbehod"". Robert Hod of York is the only early Robin Hood known to have been an outlaw. L. V. D.

"therefore unsurprising that medieval records mention a number of people called 'Robert Hood' or 'Robin Hood', some of whom are known to have fallen foul of the law. Another view on the origin on the name is expressed in the 1911 ""Encyclopædia Britannica"" which remarks that 'hood' was a common dialectical form of 'wood'; and that the outlaw's name has been given as 'Robin Wood'. There are a number of references to Robin Hood as Robin Wood, or Whood, or Whod, from the 16th and 17th centuries. The earliest recorded example, in connection with May games in Somerset, dates from"

"this one is familiar both in England and in Scotland. In the latter, the main character usually appears as a nobleman sometimes identified as George Gordon, a sixteenth century Earl of Huntly, whereas in England he is usually a common outlaw thought by some to be George Stoole, a Northumbrian robber executed in 1610. In fact, there are not good grounds for presuming that this is a historical ballad at all; it may well be simply a romantic fiction that was already delighting singers and audiences well before the day of the robber Stoole or the dissident Earl of Huntly."

The ""betyár"" word is the Hungarian version of ""Social Bandit"". (The word itself is of Ottoman Turkish origin, meaning 'bachelor' or 'unmarried man'.)

The meaning and origin of ""Black"" is also disputed (see below). The ballad is different to the Mackenzie/Crawford tradition, although both take place during the late 15th century and the outlaw, or bandit, lives in a Scottish forest (but in the ballad, the outlaw owns an entire stronghold in the woodland). Both are also connected to the names Murray, or Morrow. Walter Scott describes the Outlaw Murray of the ballad: ""as a man"

A native of the municipality of Kissing near Augsburg (his name on the baptismal register is Mattheus Klostermair—the Austro-Bavarian spelling of it), Bavarian Hiasl became an outlaw, first as a poacher and ultimately as the Robin Hood-like leader of a gang of robbers who, during the 1760s, plundered, sacked and"

Some problems with this theory are that there is no evidence that Godberd was ever known as Robin Hood (Bower mentions both Roger Godberd and ""Robert Hood"" but explicitly as two separate individuals) and no sign in the early Robin Hood ballads of the specific concerns of de Montfort's revolt.
