12th century

The 12th century was not an era often visited by the Doctor, his companions or his enemies.

The century was perhaps most associated with the rise of Robin Hood, the reign of Richard the Lionheart and the waging of the Crusades in Palestine. Two accounts report a rendezvous between the Doctor (and some of his companions) and Robin Hood and his Merry Men. (PROSE: The Thief of Sherwood, TV: Robot of Sherwood) The First Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Vicki landed near Jerusalem and found themselves caught between the camps of Richard I and Saladin.
