Make a mini information book The highwaymen of the 17th- to 19th-century Kingdom of Hungary were the betyárs ( Slovak: zbojník, pl. zbojníci). Until the 1830s they were mainly simply regarded as criminals but an increasing public appetite for betyar songs, ballads and stories gradually gave a romantic image to these armed and usually mounted robbers. Several of the betyárs have become legendary figures who in the public mind fought for social justice. Hungarian betyárs included Sándor Rózsa ( Slovak: Šaňo Róža), Jóska Sobri, Márton Vidróczki, Jóska Savanyú. Juraj Jánošík ( Hungarian: Jánosik György), who was born and operated in Upper Hungary (now Slovakia), is still regarded as the Slovak version of Robin Hood. Season two, episode 20, of Scooby-Doo!

"Roguery in Print: Crime and Culture in Early Modern London" Boydell & Brewer. ISBN 9781783274406 Traditionally the greenwood had been the refuge of the outlaw, but as cities expanded their rookeries and Alsatias offered a better bolt-hole. More and more, the well-born robber gave way to the career criminal, with no valid claim to be righting social wrongs. He worked in league with corrupt innkeepers, who informed him of the movements of wealthy travellers. Because so many were privy to his trade he was forced to lead a life of what passed for good fellowship, lavishly treating hangers-on who would otherwise not hesitate to shop him, and that included his retinue of doxies. Once the open-handedness ended, betrayal could be expected. There were many broadsheet ballads about highwaymen; these were often written to be sold on the occasion of a famous robber's execution. A number of highwaymen ballads have remained current in oral tradition in England and Ireland.
