A Gest of Robyn Hode (also known as A Lyttell Geste of Robyn Hode, and hereafter referred to as Gest) is an example of a Middle English minstrel ballad, in which the verses are grouped in quatrains with an abcb rhyme scheme. Based upon evidence contained within the work, it was probably compiled during the early 15th century as a narrative sequence of early 14th century Robin Hood tales.
