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.
Robin Hood, if he existed, would have lived during the time of the Third Crusade, which was in the late 12th century.
Robin Hood is a fictional character, who may or may not be based on a real person. The stories about him usually locate him on the 12th or 13th century.

He lived in the 15th century. To be exact, the book says that the year was 1412.

Robin Hood was sometimes referred to as Robin of Locksley. As Robin Hood was associated with Barnsdale in South Yorkshire, England then it must have been in that area. There is no such place today.

The earliest Robin Hood ballad in existence is "The Gest of Robin Hood," which I follow in my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles. It is undated, but the evidence is that it was written before 1450. There is a reference to Robin Hood ballads -- the names are not given -- in Langland's Piers Plowman, which was written in 1377, so there must have been some before that date.
