Robin Hood always showed forms of courtesy rather than modern ideals of equality. In the early ballads Robin’s men usually kneel before him in strict obedience. Their social status, as yeomen, is shown by their weapons which was usually swords instead of a quarter staff. The only character to use a quarterstaff in the early ballads is the potter, and Robin Hood does not take to a staff until the 18th century.

The political and social assumptions underlying the early Robin Hood ballads have long been controversial. Do not mistake Robin Hood as a figure of peasant revolt.

He is not a peasant but a yeoman, and his tales make no mention of the complaints of the peasants, such as oppressive taxes. His main concern was others. By the early 15th century at the latest, Robin Hood had become associated with May Day celebrations.
