King's Man is the third novel of the eight-part Outlaw Chronicles series by British writer of historical fiction Angus Donald, released on 21 July 2011 through Little, Brown and Company.

This novel continues the story of Alan Dale, based on the historical Alan-a-Dale; warrior and troubadour in Robin Hood's band of outlaws.

This gives way to the novel's main concern: the capture and ransom of Richard the Lionheart; (loosely based on the actual events).

"[citation needed] Additionally, The Times stated that the novel is "A glorious, gritty, violent, fast-moving recreation of an English legend".
