In English folklore a person called Robin Hood was an outlaw who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. So nowadays the term means a not-too-bad criminal.

In what century was Robin Hood famous?

The earliest sources of the Robin Hood legend are ballads which can be dated before 1450. My novel The Robin Hood Chronicles is based largely on these ballads. The ballads refer to a King Edward who visited Robin in Yorkshire. The only King Edward who was in Yorkshire before 1450 was Edward II, who was in Yorkshire in 1323. Also in Langland's Piers Plowman, written in 1377, there is a reference to Robin Hood ballads. So the answer to your question is that Robin Hood was famous in the 14th century; but of course he has been famous also in every century since then.
