The earliest source of information about how and where Robin Hood died is a Ballad called "The Death of Robin Hood." I follow it pretty closely in my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles. In the ballad Robin is ill and is taken by Little John to the convent at Kirklees, where his cousin, who is skilled in medicine, is prioress. It is there that he dies. The ballad does not indicate the nature of the illness he is being treated for; in my novel I assume it was the Black Death, a plague which killed hundreds of people in England in 1348.

Who killed Cock Robin?

The sparrow, with his bow and arrow. I add: NOTE: The answer is correct. It is the question that is wrong. It should read, "Who killed Cock Robin?" From the original English folk poem (about Robin Hood -- or possibly with reference to English Prime Minister Robert Walpole): Who killed Cock Robin -- poem "Who killed Cock Robin?" "I," said the Sparrow, "With my bow and arrow, I killed Cock Robin." "Who saw him die?" "I," said the Fly, "With my little eye, I saw him die." "Who caught his blood?" "I," said the Fish, "With my little dish, I caught his blood." "Who'll make the shroud?" "I," said the Beetle, "With my thread and needle, I'll make the shroud." "Who'll dig his grave?" "I," said the Owl, "With my pick and shovel, I'll dig his grave." "Who'll be the parson?" "I," said the Rook, "With my little book, I'll be the parson." "Who'll be the clerk?" "I," said the Lark, "If it's not in the dark, I'll be the clerk." "Who'll carry the link?" "I," said the Linnet, "I'll fetch it in a minute, I'll carry the link." "Who'll be chief mourner?" "I," said the Dove, "I mourn for my love, I'll be chief mourner." "Who'll carry the coffin?" "I," said the Kite, "If it's not through the night, I'll carry the coffin." "Who'll bear the pall? "We," said the Wren, "Both the cock and the hen, we'll bear the pall." "Who'll sing a psalm?" "I," said the Thrush, "As she sat on a bush, I'll sing a psalm." "Who'll toll the bell?" "I," said the bull, "Because I can pull, I'll toll the bell." All the birds of the air fell a-sighing and a-sobbing, When they heard the bell toll for poor Cock Robin.

What year did the historical Robin hood die and how old was he when he died?

The earliest source of information about how Robin Hood died is a ballad called 'The Death of Robin Hood." It does not give the year in which he died. In my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles i conjecture that he died in 1348, because that was the year of a plague called the Black Death, which killed hundreds of people in England. Since there is no way of knowing when Robin Hood was born, there is no way of knowing how old he was when he died; my speculation is that he was somewhere around 60, but it is only speculation.

It can be assumed that he did not die at the end of "Under the Red Hood" although not directly shown him surviving the explosion Batman and Joker both survived and Jason was right next to Batman at the time of the explosion, DC also went on to write a comic series with Jason as the Red Hood as the anti-hero, so one can assume he survived.
