From International Robin Hood Bibliography

This page includes literary allusions relating to festivals. The Maid Marian character, whatever her precise origins, entered the Robin Hood tradition via festival traditions. Friar Tuck may or may not have originated as a character in popular festivals, but by the end of the Middle Ages he had become connected with morris dancing and May games. It was at least partly through such pastimes and festivals that he came to be connected with Robin Hood. Allusions to Maid Marian or Friar Tuck that do not specifically refer to them as literary characters are included below.
