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.
