None. The story comes from the 1200's when it was an oral poem. People couldn't read so stories were created that were poems. They were easy to remember and to retell. Through the ages the story has changed. Characters have been added, changed, and forgotten. In modern times the story keeps changing because of the movies and new books. The term " hood" was used for the highway robber of the time because they wore a hood over the face. Anyone who was a criminal was a "hood".

Yes, there really was a person around that time who was called Robin Hood, but he was not as kindhearted as the old songs suggest.
