      That is so true. Many movies and books have been made after him even if he wasnt a living breathing person. More likely hes the make up from many people or stories and made into one.

      @@nmcgunagle According to the UK national archives website calculator, 400 pounds in 1270 ( in 2017 pounds) is "worth approximately " 291,930.56 ÂŁ. According to the bank of England archive website calculator 400 pounds in 1209 is 833,115.09ÂŁ (2020 pounds), using a .9% inflation index. I feel that is possibly inaccurate due to the inconsistency of inflation over time, e.g., the 400 pounds in 1340 was worth about the same as in 1270, as per the UK national archive. However, using the idea that a medieval pound of silver was the equivalent of a pound of currency, 400 pounds would be worth 75,600ÂŁ , based on the current value of silver at @189ÂŁ per pound weight. I'm sure there are other sources and methods of calculating based on cost of living, price indices, wages, plague,famine, or other economic factors. Regardless, a significant sum.

    The name probably originated from its cultural association to outlaws, as hinted at in the documentary, but once it was established as meaning "an outlaw" the legend of the person of Robin Hood would evolve from the stories of previous and future people with a similar name.
    In other words, Robin Hood is a cultural symbol whose stories are rooted in the histories of real people who others associatd with that symbol.

    He is real. It has been documented and he did give to the poor. He did help families as he knew how it felt to go without food. This was documented and witnessed by others and when the sheriff found out what and why Rob was doing, it angered his cold heart. This is all documented in real historical documents. If people were always willing to help Robin plus Maiden Marian married Robin, he definitely was a good person to ones in the most need of mercy. I honestly don't like when people try to trash good real Heroes of our past and real Heroes of today. God Bless Robin Hood and all his helpers to feed and give to the poor. All he had in the end was an arrow to mark where he wanted to be buried.

    Suggested reading - a novel about the REAL Sheriff of Nottingham, Philip Mark.
    After reading 'The Sheriff of Nottingham' by Richard Kluger, I am disappointed it doesn't get mentioned in discussions of Robin Hood. As of this posting, over 50 available on Amazon for under $10.
    From Good Reads:
    'He [the sheriff] remains to this day, fed by Hollywood versions of the legend, the hateful, impotent foil to that celebrated bowman, Robin Hood. Now, with his novel, The Sheriff of Nottingham, Richard Kluger turns the timeless tale on its head in a vivid, compassionate narrative based upon authentic and quite startling history.
    Here are dark intrigue and adroit statecraft, hand-to-hand combat and sharp wits in collision, an avaricious ruler attempting to seduce his sheriff’s wife on Christmas night, and the hatching of the Magna Carta itself at Nottingham Castle one fine September eve in 1213 (along with the reasons why Philip Mark is specifically mentioned in that immortal document).'

    His name was just a medieval shorthand for a robber a thief. Robin was a very common name back then ( abv of Robert ), or may even be an abbreviation of the word robbing in this case. Thoughout history thieves and muggers wear a hood or mask to hide their face. Also found in words like hoodlum, and of course in American Culture Gansters hang outs are called " the hood"

    Robin Hood of the Ballads say King was Edward.. a Prioress of Kirkly..here we go.. a Prioress is a woman in charge of nuns.. and Kirkly in 1400s England during reign of King Edward means "Church Fields".. later on, that place Kirkly was renamed the Benefice of Lower Wensleydale.. there are 6 churches there that make a face.. Look at St. Marys Church.. just about 350 yards east is Hornby Castle.. Home of the Conyers at one time.. Sir John Conyers Jr was the Robin Hood of the Ballads aka Robin of Redesdale.. just not the first to use name... he was leader of the York Knights.. Sir Robert Hulderne was Robin of Holderness..he was Captain of the York Rebels.. there is only one record of a man using name Friar Tuck in 1417 and 1429.. Sir John Conyers was in mid 20s age when he met Friar Tuck age mid 50s : ) .......................

    I thought Richard the lion heart died in France, on his way back from the crusade? What happened to him?

      My understanding is Richard nearly bankrupted England with his Crusade, and that Bad King John ended up doing a decent job ruling.

      Richard made it back to England in 1194 then went back to France to re take the lands he lost away on crusade he did of an infection he got from a arrow wound in 1199

    There must have been a real character the legends were based on I think it was the first or second because of his favorite weapon. I think "THE" Longbow appeared AFTER Edwatd I invaded Wales as it was an established favorite weapon THERE.

      Robin Hood is no one person. I think "Robin Hood" comes from "a robbing hood". For example .... Bill: Why are you late arriving to market? Jim: We were held up by a robbing hood! "Robbing" became "Robin" as English speakers are too lazy to pronounce the g. Based on this, I surmise there were thousands of Robbing Hoods ... or Robin Hoods ... throughout England long before any of them were chronicled in prose. Robin Hood is not one person. Robin Hood is many people.
