The earliest Robin Hood ballad in existence is "The Gest of Robin Hood," which I follow in my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles. It is undated, but the evidence is that it was written before 1450. There is a reference to Robin Hood ballads -- the names are not given -- in Langland's Piers Plowman, which was written in 1377, so there must have been some before that date.
