The earliest sources of the Robin Hood story are ballads which date before 1450. In one of them a King Edward comes to Robin in Yorkshire and makes him his yeoman. The only King Edward who was in Yorkshire at that time was Edward II. Edward II had a valet and porter named Robyn Hod. In my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles I assume the identity of the Robin of the ballads and the Robyn who served Edward II; and there's no doubt that Robyn was factual. He was a follower of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster; he lived in Wakefield; he had a wife named Mathilda; and there are several other facts known about him. If that Robyn was the same as the Robin of the ballads, then the Robin of the ballads also has some factual basis.

The earliest sources of the Robin Hood story are ballads that can be dated before 1450. William Langland refers to some Robin Hood ballads in Piers Plowman, written in 1377. One of the ballads we have tells a story that King Edward came to Yorkshire and made Robin Hood one of his yeomen. The only King Edward who was on Yorkshire before 1450 was Edward II, who was there in 1323. So apparently Robin Hood lived in the 14th century, and that's where I place him in my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles.
