Do people believe in Robin Hood?
I believe there was a real Robin Hood, and my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles is a half-serious attempt to re-create in fiction what may have been the reality. The earliest Robin Hood ballads place him in Yorkshire and associate him with a King Edward, who takes him into the royal service. This can only be Edward II, who was in Yorkshire in 1323, and the servants in his court in 1323 included a Robyn Hod, his valet and porter. My source is Robin Hood, by J.C. Holt, though Holt draws back from making the identification as positive as I have.

Was Robin Hood evil?
It’s funny. Not so long ago I stumbled over a few stories in some musty old books about a guy who always stood up for what was right and fair. At first, I thought he might have just been something that British people made up to sing songs about. But now, I’m starting to wonder if there could have actually been a rebel like him out there.

Why is Robin Hood called Robin Hood?
Question is not clear. Do you mean "Why was Robin Hood considered an invented story rather than a historical fact?" or "Why did Robin Hood achieve status as a legend rather than other outlaws?" I deal with the latter question both in my Midwest Folklore article "Jesse James as Robin Hood" and the "Afterward" to my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles. The appeal of Robin Hood is that he was a scamp who could make you laugh while he was robbing you.-- Sam Sackett
What was the date Robin Hood was born?
Robin Hood was a folklore legend in England. He has never been proven to have actually existed, so there's no way to know when he was born. Most of the references to him came about in the late 13th century.
When was the earliest robin hood ballad written and what was its scholarly title?
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.
