Biography

a folk monk / preacher, often contrasted against the corruption in higher echelons of the Church. Nearly always shown in the brown and rope-corded habit of a Franciscan, he is usually portrayed as jollyand overweight, as in The Adventures of Robin Hood and the British series of the same name. Even the Disney film portrays the friar as overweight, though pre-20th century versions were as likely to use him as a doublet of Little John as The Big Guy. A late addition to the legend, he probably came in, like Maid Marian, by way of the May Games, a particular brand of manly merriness among the Merry Men. (There was a 15th century outlaw in Sussex called "Friar Tuck," who either may have taken his name from the legend or had his name given to the originally anonymous Friar of the May Games.) A possibly medieval ballad (though surviving only in 17th century manuscripts) describes an unnamed "curtal friar" (i.e., one wearing a shortened habit) as fighting Robin, eventually besting him by means of his trained dogs. To give him a Badass Preacher / Warrior Monk edge, some versions grant him a knowledge of pankration — a blend of wrestling and boxing which dates back to the Greeks, similar to our modern Mixed Martial Arts.
