Robin Hood
Sherwood Forest, England
Robin Hood lived in Sherwood forest with his gang/merry men/ other out laws.
The earliest sources are a manuscript called "The Gest of Robin Hood," which cobbles together four ballads, and another four manuscript ballads. My novel The Robin Hood Chronicles is based on these eight ballads.
Robin lived in Sherwood Forest but much of it is set in Locksley too.
Robin Hood as legend has it
He lived in Sherwood , Nottingham Forest.
The story of Robin Hood first shows about about 1226 as an oral tale in rhyme told by bards. It changes as it ages and it isn't until the 1400's or early 1500's that it is written down. Charcters like Tuck and Marian don't show up until late in the story. Most historians believe that there never was a "Robin Hood."
Robin Hood was supposadly based on Robert Fitzdog, Earl of Huntington and Lord of Locksley who was a good archer and lived in the forests giving to the poor In my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles I base Robin Hood on a real Robyn Hod who lived in the 14th century. My reasoning is that in one of the earliest ballads King Edward -- almost surely Edward II -- makes Robin Hood his yeoman. Edward II had a valet and porter named Robyn Hod, and I assume that Robin Hood and Robyn Hod are the same person.
