Robin hood but he got that 14th century longbowman drip. Note: this is not a hundred percent historically accurate because Robin Hood is not actually a fox, he’s Bri ish.
From left to right:
1. Robin Shooting a longbow.
2. Robin giving “the forks”/reverse “V” sign which was allegedly used to taunt the French during the hundred years war (although no historical evidence for this exists.)
3. Robin in longbowman gear including a kettle hat and a tabard with the cross of St. George.
4. Robin wielding an arming sword and buckler. (I was originally going for an ‘ox guard’ but I realized his sword was too small to be held with two hands, so I just gave him a buckler instead. Idk if this pose is even a real medieval guard.)
5. Robin stringing his bow. Contrary to what we often see in pop culture, a bow should only be strung if it’s going to be used. Keeping a bow strung for long periods of time will weaken its strength.

It's historical too:
Dominic Mancini, 1483, describing the soldiers he saw in England
“(the english archers are)….for the most part without armour except their pourpoints; their stockings rolled down to the knees, and having hatchets (probably mauls) and battle-axes hanging at their waists, or long swords, some barefooted and bareheaded, others with huvettes or capelinas(helmets) of cuir-bouilli, and others of osier, strengthened with a cross-band of iron.”

The sword and buckler is a great addition, though arming swords and bucklers were usually used in a point-forward guard. There's a manual from the period that has references, though the artist was not good at drawing perspective.
