Robin Hood was a real person in the 15th century, but many tales of him are fictional.
No. Historical Fiction.
fictionalized history. but non fiction
Robin Hood is a fiction character, though the book was set in the medieval times, yes.
It is believed that the legendary figure of Robin Hood lived during the late 12th and early 13th centuries, although historical evidence of his existence is scant. The exact lifespan of Robin Hood is unknown due to the lack of concrete historical records.

Robin Hood was not real and the story began as a oral poem in the 1200's.. He was not real and there is no historical evidence he existed.
He's poor, he needs food, has a gang to deal with and the sheriff is hunting him.
Robin Hood, is not entirely fake but he is just a legend that is meant to tell a story about a certain medieval era and there is not enough historical evidence to prove his existence.
My novel The Robin Hood Chronicles is a half-serious attempt to re-create in fiction what may have been the reality behind the Robin Hood legend. It is based on the earliest sources, which are ballads about Robin Hood; on the life of a real Robyn Hod whose life matches that of the ballads' Robin at one point; and on the history of the time. I believe my novel is as close to reality as it is possible to get at this distance in time.
robin hood is the most famous and the best because my brother IS robin hood
No. There is no concrete historical evidence that the Robin Hood portrayed in numerous films and adaptations ever existed outside of some romantic fiction. Unfortunately film makers need to make their products exciting, not historically accurate. I doubt very much if 12th century England was anything like that.
The fictional Robin Hood was never given any sort of biological family of parents. Historical people that may have truly been like Robin Hood most likely had some parents, but none have really been mentioned in history.
