''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' The Knave of Hearts is mentioned first in chapter 8, and later in chapters 11 and 12, which deal with his trial for a tart burglary in which the King of Hearts presides as judge. Alice eventually defends the Knave after the evidence becomes increasingly absurd and she is called as a witness. The White Rabbit announces the charges as: ''The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts,'' :''All on a summer day:'' ''The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts,'' :''And took them quite away!'' The Knave rarely speaks during the trial.

Red Queen (Through The Looking-Glass)
The Red Queen is a fictional character and the main antagonist in Lewis Carroll's fantasy 1871 novel ''Through the Looking-Glass''. She is often confused with the Queen of Hearts from the previous book ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' (1865), although the two are very different. Overview With a motif of ''Through the Looking-Glass'' being a representation of the game of chess, the Red Queen could be viewed as an antagonist in the story as she is the queen for the side opposing Alice. Despite this, their initial encounter is a cordial one, with the Red Queen explaining the rules of chess concerning promotion—specifically that Alice is able to become a queen by starting out as a pawn and reaching the eighth square at the opposite end of the board. As a queen in the game of chess, the Red Queen is able to move swiftly and effortlessly. Later, in Chapter 9, the Red Queen appears with the White Queen, posing a series of typical Wonderland/Looking-Glass questions ("Divide a lo ...

Will Scarlet
Scarlet (also Scarlett, Scarlock, Scadlock, Scatheloke, Scathelocke and Shacklock) is a prominent member of Robin Hood's Merry Men. He is present in the earliest ballads along with Little John and Much the Miller's Son. The confusion of surnames has led some authors to distinguish them as belonging to different characters. The Elizabethan playwright Anthony Munday featured Scarlet and Scathlocke as half-brothers in his play '' The Downfall of Robert, Earl of Huntington''. Howard Pyle included both a Will Scathelock and a Will Scarlet in his '' Merry Adventures of Robin Hood''. Will Stutely may also exist as a separate character because of a mistaken surname. Ballads The first appearance of Will Scarlet was in one of the oldest surviving Robin Hood ballads, ''A Gest of Robyn Hode''. He helps capture Richard at the Lee and when Robin lends that knight money to pay off his debts, Scarlet stands laughing at Little John for the cost of clothing the knight (Richard at the Lee) bein ...
