Best Answer

The earliest source of information about how Robin Hood died is a Ballad called 'The Death of Robin Hood." It does not give the year in which he died. In my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles i conjecture that he died in 1348, because that was the year of a plague called the Black Death, which killed hundreds of people in England. Since there is no way of knowing when Robin Hood was born, there is no way of knowing how old he was when he died; my speculation is that he was somewhere around 60, but it is only speculation.

How old was robin Hood when he died?

Historians aren't sure Robin Hood even existed and if he did the information on him is very slim so there is not enough information to give you an absolute answer to the question. However popular thinking is that he died between the 75th and 87th year of his age as a result of treachery through medical malpractice.

What year was Robin Hood supposed to have been around?

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.


Did Robin Hood have a daughter?

A lot of these characters are made up just for fun, but some of them, like King Arthur Pendragon (and his knights of the round) were based on truth, but the truth kernels snowballed into a mythological mess. Robin hood probably had children with Maid Marian, though he had a time getting her chastity belt undone on their wedding night!
