2 The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes Some background: The Highwayman is loosely based on the legends of notorious highwaymen who terrorized - and charmed - the English countryside between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. The most famous of all highwaymen was Dick Turpin. Legend has it that Turpin rode from London to York, a distance of about 190 miles (50-60 miles on horseback is the general time a horse can travel a day), in 15 hours. His motive was to create a false alibi for a robbery he had just committed. Turpin was eventually found and executed.
