I had already been planning to make historically accurate outfits based on Disney's Robin Hood characters when the Georgia Renaissance Fair announced it was holding a Fall Fling Fair that would be Robin Hood themed! I was so excited! I already had the fabric, but by the time I got back from a trip I only had a week to make my husband a Robin Hood Outfit and to make myself a Maid Marian outfit. Robin Hood is a folk hero with many stories and it is hard to figure out exactly when the stories first came about. Since I was recreating historically accurate costumes form the 1973 Disney movie, Robin Hood. I decided to have the outfits correspond with the date that the movie is set, which is during the reign of King Richard I who ruled England from 1189 to 1199. But we can further narrow down the time period because during the movie King Richard is away on the 3rd Crusade which took place from 11 May 1189 – 2 September 1192, and has left, his brother, Prince John, to rule England. Therefore, I tried to recreate an outfit from that time range including tunic, Cyclas, and circular veil. Videos from ⁨@OpusElenae⁩ That were incredibly helpful when making the Cyclas- What the heck is a "Cyclas?"
