What is a highwayman?
Saturday, July 17th, 2010
Solution:
A highwayman was a thief who preyed on travellers, particularly one who travelled by horse; those who robbed on foot were called footpads. Mounted robbers were widely considered to be socially superior to footpads.Such robbers operated in Great Britain and Ireland from the Elizabethan era until the early 19th century.
