Robin Hood, Fictional Outlaw
* Born: c. 1100 A.D.
* Birthplace: England, Locksley
* Best Known As: Cheerful robber of Sherwood Forest
Robin Hood is a legendary folk hero, a good-hearted outlaw who lives in England's Sherwood Forest and "robs from the rich and gives to the poor." He loves Maid Marian, leads a band known as the Merry Men (which includes Friar Tuck and the oversized Little John) and torments the evil Sheriff of Nottingham. Robin appears in Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe and many other books, stories and movies. Most Robin Hood stories are set in the era of 1100 - 1300 A.D., and in many he is a defender of the real-life King Richard the Lion-Hearted and enemy of the usurper, King John. Much like King Arthur, Robin is a fictional figure who may have been loosely based on a real person or persons.
Robin Hood has been played in the movies by Errol Flynn (1938), Kevin Costner (1991) and Sean Connery (1976), among others; he was portrayed as a fox in the 1973 Disney animated version of the tale.

There is an early record, in a legal matter, from around 1100, where the name Robynhod, was facing trial on robbery. Some say this is the real Robin Hood and others say this is how the first stories of the outlaw grew.
There is no proof on either account. Except for the name on the record and the man was facing charges of robbery. It was soon after this, nevertheless, songs of Robin Hood began to emerge in the society.
Robynhod's crime didn't state to what purpose he robbed someone, besides personal gain.
He stole money from the rich and gave it to the poor.
