As for me, Robin Hood is the character of the films and books who is noble. Robin Hood became a popular folk figure in the medieval period, continuing through to modern literature, films and television. He's an outlaw and becomes the people's hero. He fights for the poor yeoman and women.Robin Hood and his men steal from the rich and give the money to the poor people. Robin and his friends' live in the forest of Nottingham. He is against some churchmen who take the money from the poor people, and above all the Sheriff of Nottingham. He finally kills him.Robin Hood was also one servant of the king and he lives with the king in the palace in London but he doesn't like the city and he goes to the forest. He marries his love, Lady Marian in the forest. They live happily there for many years. Eventually they get old. Marian dies first and Robin is alone,when he is ill visit the prioress and Robin is killed by the prioress.In the end, Little John that is a Robin Hood's men by his side when he dies and he buries him and put “Here lies brave Robin Hood”. That is why I think that Robin Hood is noble.
Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa between August and October 1451. His father was a weaver and small-time merchant. As a teenager, Christopher went to sea, travelled extensively and eventually made Portugal his base. It was here that he initially attempted to gain royal patronage for a westward voyage to the Orient - his 'enterprise of the Indies'.When this failed, and appeals to the French and English courts were also rejected, Columbus found himself in Spain, still struggling to win backing for his project. Finally, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella agreed to sponsor the expedition, and on 3 August 1492, Columbus and his fleet of three ships, the Santa Maria, the Pinta and the Niña, set sail across the Atlantic.Ten weeks later, land was sighted. On 12 October, Columbus and a group of his men set foot on an island in what later became known as the Bahamas. Believing that they had reached the Indies, the newcomers dubbed the natives 'Indians'. Initial encounters were friendly, but indigenous populations all over the New World were soon to be devastated by their contact with Europeans. Columbus landed on a number of other islands in the Caribbean, including Cuba and Hispaniola, and returned to Spain in triumph. He was made 'admiral of the Seven Seas' and viceroy of the Indies, and within a few months, set off on a second and larger voyage. More territory was covered, but the Asian lands that Columbus was aiming for remained elusive. Indeed, others began to dispute whether this was in fact the Orient or a completely 'new' world.Columbus made two further voyages to the newfound territories, but suffered defeat and humiliation along the way. A great navigator, Columbus was less successful as an administrator and was accused of mismanagement. He died on 20 May 1506 a wealthy but disappointed man. Known as 'the man who discovered America', Columbus was in fact trying to find a westward sea passage to the Orient when he landed in the New World in 1492. This unintentional discovery was to change the course of world history.
