About Friar Tuck

Friar Tuck is a fictional character from the Robin Hood stories. In most of the legends Friar Tuck is considered to be a very good friend of Robin Hood. He is considered a jovial man who helps the Merry Men. In the Hollywood movie Friar Tuck was somewhat a drunken man who was captured by Robin Hood, but eventually became a friend. There have been several characterizations of Friar Tuck. What we do know is that he did work at the church in England until finding Robin Hood and his men. The true history of the Friar would not be accurate as friars did not exist in Richard the Lion Hearted’s time. Friars existed afterwards, but then the original tales talk of King Edward and not Richard I.

Dressing up as Friar Tuck

Friar Tuck is a monk. The costume for Friar Tuck would need to be a long red or brown robe with long sleeves. Around the waist a rope belt is needed. Then around the neck a gold cross. The typical costume also has a hood for the Friar’s head, but this can be worn up or down. Appropriate shoes for the costume would be leather sandals or boots. Since Friar Tuck is part of Robin Hood, Maid Marian makes a great choice for a companion costume if needed or a Nun.
