12th century

The 12th century was not a time heavily visited by the Doctor, his companions and his enemies.

The century was perhaps most associated with the rise of Robin Hood, the reign of Richard the Lionheart and the prosecution of the Crusades in Palestine. It was known that during this century Robin Hood used the Major Oak as a sort of sanctuary for his band of "merry men". (K9TV: The Last Oak Tree) The First Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan met with Robin some time in the last decade of the century, perhaps in 1194. (ST: The Thief of Sherwood) Meanwhile, the First Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Vicki landed near Jerusalem and found themselves caught between the camps of Richard I and Saladin. (DW: The Crusade)
