Question: Which cloth town in the high Middle Ages gives the name to the dye associated with the man who is said to rob from the rich and give to the poor?

Lincoln green is the colour of dyed woollen cloth associated with Robin Hood and his merry men in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire.  The dyers of Lincoln, a cloth town in the high Middle Ages, produced the cloth by dyeing it with woad ("Isatis tinctoria") to give it a strong blue, then overdyeing it yellow with weld ("Reseda luteola") or dyers' broom, "Genista tinctoria". " Coventry blue" and "Kendall green" were also colours linked with the dyers of English towns. <SEP> Medieval archaeology is the study of humankind through its material culture, specialising in the period of the European Middle Ages.  At its broadest, the period stretches from the 5th to the 16th century and refers to post-Roman but pre-modern remains.  The period covers the upheaval caused by the fall of the Roman Empire and cultures such as the Vikings, Saxons, and Franks.  Archaeologists often specialise in studying either the Early Middle Ages (Migration Period) or the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages, although many projects and professionals move across these chronological boundaries.  The rich nature of the medieval written record has meant that archaeology has often been seen as the "handmaiden to history", especially in the later medieval period.  Analysis of material culture may enrich or call into question written evidence from the medieval period and the two sources of evidence need to be used together.  Medieval archaeology has examined the development of medieval settlements, particularly the development of medieval towns and castles.  It has also contributed to understanding of the spread and development of Christian monasticism during the medieval period. <SEP> Robin Hood is a heroic outlaw in English folklore who, according to legend, was a highly skilled archer and swordsman.  Alongside his band of Merry Men in Sherwood Forest and against the Sheriff of Nottingham, he became a popular folk figure in the Late Middle Ages, and continues to be widely represented in literature, film and television.  Traditionally depicted dressed in Lincoln green, he is said to rob from the rich and give to the poor. <SEP> The economy of Scotland in the High Middle Ages for the purposes of this article, is the economic situation in Scotland between 1058 and 1286 AD.  The year 1058 saw the ascension of Malcolm III to the throne of Scotland.  His reign marks a significant cultural, economic, and political shift away from Scandinavia and towards England and the European Continent – most noticeable in his marriage to Margaret, the sister of Edgar Aetheling, who was the primary dynastic rival to William I, Duke of Normandy, for the throne of England following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.  The end of this period is marked by the death of Alexander III in 1286, which then led indirectly to the Scottish Wars of Independence.  This period corresponds roughly with the High Middle Ages in Europe, which is generally ascribed to the 11th to the 13th centuries and the Medieval Warm Period, which directly affected the Scottish agrarian economy.
