Was Robin Hood a real man or not?

Answer 1

Stories say yes, but other people say no. I don't think there is a right, or wrong answer.

Robin Hood was a Saxon Hero. His story was passed by oral tradition - as few saxons could write. The Normans and monks could write, but it is possible that an Anti-Norman, Saxon Hero was simply erased from history. Official history was created by the people, or person writing it.

At the siege of Rochester Castle, the rebels surrendered to King John in 1215. Only one person was executed. He was an archer. This archer must have particularly angered King John - and yet his name was not recorded. The most famous archer in the rebelion against King John, was of course, Robin Hood. If he was at the siege of Rochester, he most certainly would have been executed.

If robin was real people belive that from ancient storys and poems that his name was Robin of Loxley. He then went and fought in a crusade and when he returned his father had been killed and the sherif of nottinham had claimed the land. When the sheriff found out that Robin Hood was back he was set on finding Robin. Robin then ran into sherwood forest and was approached by a gang of bandits. Robin then won a fight and became apart the group, over time he became the leader of the group of bandite ( now known as the merry men). Robin then killed all the gaurds and tax collecters that enterd the forest. zhe apperantly gave the money back to poor i think that he would of kept it all for himself. But anyway we all know what happend from here dut robin died when he returned from a hunt when he had grown pretty old. He then went to the piory gate house were they would heal him but the nurse opend his viens to use a common cure called bloodn letting but she did not shut his viens and only left him for dead a man then came up to kill robin but robin killed him and died a short time after. :(
