The English outlaw of legend was Robin Hood.
Robin Hood is a character of folklore dating back to the Middle Ages. There are many old stories about him, and many old sites, such as bays, wells, and so on, associated with him. We do not have any historic record of Robin Hood. This does not mean he did not exist, just that history cannot confirm his existence.

Some myths and legends of the Middle Ages include King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Robin Hood, the legend of El Cid, and the story of Tristan and Isolde. These tales often involve chivalry, bravery, romance, and magical elements.
Robin Hood is regarded as a fictional character who may have been based on a real person. His story is dated to the time when King Richard I was away on crusade and being held hostage in the Holy Roman Empire. This was the period of 1190 to 1194 AD, during what is called the High Middle Ages. The middle ages lasted for another 250 years or so.
The story comes from the 1200's when it was an oral poem. People couldn't read so stories were created that were poems. They were easy to remember and to retell. Through the ages the story has changed. Characters have been added, changed, and forgotten. In modern times the story keeps changing because of the movies and new books. The term " hood" was used for the highway robber of the time because they wore a hood over the face. Anyone who was a criminal was a "hood".
Robin Hood was/is a story that began in1226 as a oral tale. It was a rhyme told in story form, so there is no "family" or boyhood for Robin Hood. Many of the characters we know have been added through the ages as the story changed.
