What year was Robin Hood supposed to have been around?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Robin Hood, if he existed, would have lived during the time of the Third Crusade, which was in the late 12th century.

Answer 3

Robin Hood is a fictional character, who may or may not be based on a real person. The stories about him usually locate him on the 12th or 13th century.

Answer 4

He became infamous during the reign of King Richard I of England. The stories and Ballads of his life became popular shortly afterwards and have no cease to be so every since.

Answer 5

He lived in the 15th century. To be exact, the book says that the year was 1412.

Answer 6

The story of Robin Hood isn't completely made up, see Robin Hood was attually a real person, only parts of the story is made up, so there is no real answer to this question.8-S
