Robin Hood was supposadly based on Robert Fitzdog, Earl of Huntington and Lord of Locksley who was a good archer and lived in the forests giving to the poor In my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles I base Robin Hood on a real Robyn Hod who lived in the 14th century. My reasoning is that in one of the earliest ballads King Edward -- almost surely Edward II -- makes Robin Hood his yeoman. Edward II had a valet and porter named Robyn Hod, and I assume that Robin Hood and Robyn Hod are the same person.

The earliest sources of the Robin Hood legend are ballads earlier than 1450. They place Robin Hood in Yorkshire. In one of them King Edward is in Yorkshire and makes Robin Hood his yeoman. The only King Edward who was in Yorkshire before 1450 was Edward II, who was there in 1323. Among the King's servants in 1323 is listed a Robyn Hod. In my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles I assume that this Robyn Hod is the same as the Robin Hood of the ballads.
Silly question
In the earliest sources of the Robin Hood legend, which are ballads, a King Edward makes Robin Hood one of his yeomen. This is most likely Edward II, who had a real Robyn Hod as his valet and porter. I base my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles on the identity of the Robin Hood of the ballads and the Robyn Hod of Edward II's court. Robyn Hod had been a man-at-arms for Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, in Thomas's attempt to overthrow Edward II; Thomas was defeated in the Battle of Boroughbridge in 1322, and at that time Edward declared all of Thomas's soldiers were outlaws and sent his soldiers to hunt them down. This made Robin Hood a fugitive.
