The story of Robin Hood first shows about about 1226 as an oral tale in rhyme told by bards. It changes as it ages and it isn't until the 1400's or early 1500's that it is written down. Charcters like Tuck and Marian don't show up until late in the story. Most historians believe that there never was a "Robin Hood."

Did robin hood have a beard?

It depends on the story you are reading or the movie you watched. I don't recall the Robin Hood stories being consistent on this matter or even mentioning it at all. In the time period when Robin Hood existed, there were no electric shavers or razors the way we have now so shaving may have not been that popular. I would go for most people having a beard of some type.


How near to reality is robin hood?

My novel The Robin Hood Chronicles is a half-serious attempt to re-create in fiction what may have been the reality behind the Robin Hood legend. It is based on the earliest sources, which are ballads about Robin Hood; on the life of a real Robyn Hod whose life matches that of the ballads' Robin at one point; and on the history of the time. I believe my novel is as close to reality as it is possible to get at this distance in time.
