What are some factual basis of Robin Hood?
The earliest sources of the Robin Hood story are ballads which date before 1450. In one of them a King Edward comes to Robin in Yorkshire and makes him his yeoman. The only King Edward who was in Yorkshire at that time was Edward II. Edward II had a valet and porter named Robyn Hod. In my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles I assume the identity of the Robin of the ballads and the Robyn who served Edward II; and there's no doubt that Robyn was factual. He was a follower of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster; he lived in Wakefield; he had a wife named Mathilda; and there are several other facts known about him. If that Robyn was the same as the Robin of the ballads, then the Robin of the ballads also has some factual basis.
In what century was Robin Hood famous?
The earliest sources of the Robin Hood legend are ballads which can be dated before 1450. My novel The Robin Hood Chronicles is based largely on these ballads. The ballads refer to a King Edward who visited Robin in Yorkshire. The only King Edward who was in Yorkshire before 1450 was Edward II, who was in Yorkshire in 1323. Also in Langland's Piers Plowman, written in 1377, there is a reference to Robin Hood ballads. So the answer to your question is that Robin Hood was famous in the 14th century; but of course he has been famous also in every century since then.
What did robin hood live in?
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.
How long ago do people think robin hood existed?
The earliest sources of the Robin Hood legend are ballads earlier than 1450. They place Robin Hood in Yorkshire. In one of them King Edward is in Yorkshire and makes Robin Hood his yeoman. The only King Edward who was in Yorkshire before 1450 was Edward II, who was there in 1323. Among the King's servants in 1323 is listed a Robyn Hod. In my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles I assume that this Robyn Hod is the same as the Robin Hood of the ballads.
Was Robin Hood married?
Yes, he and Maid Marion were married. Friar Tuck performed the ceremony in Sherwood Forest, so there was no formal documentation in the church registry. Actually Maid Marian doesn't enter the Robin Hood legend until about 300 years after Robin Hood died. I base my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles on the earliest sources, which are ballads dating from the 14th century. In one of them King Edward -- most likely Edward II -- makes Robin one of his yeomen. There was a real Robyn Hod in the service of Edward II; he was married to a woman named Mathilda.
Did Robin Hood became a fugitive?
In the earliest sources of the Robin Hood legend, which are ballads, a King Edward makes Robin Hood one of his yeomen. This is most likely Edward II, who had a real Robyn Hod as his valet and porter. I base my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles on the identity of the Robin Hood of the ballads and the Robyn Hod of Edward II's court. Robyn Hod had been a man-at-arms for Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, in Thomas's attempt to overthrow Edward II; Thomas was defeated in the Battle of Boroughbridge in 1322, and at that time Edward declared all of Thomas's soldiers were outlaws and sent his soldiers to hunt them down. This made Robin Hood a fugitive.
Is Robin Hood real or not?
Yes! Hint, hint: yes!!!!!! Yes. The earliest sources of the Robin Hood legend are ballads dating before 1450. In one of them King Edward comes to Yorkshire and makes Robin Hood one of his yeomen. The only King Edward who was in Yorkshire before 1450 was Edward II. In the documents of Edward II's reign there is a record of a Robyn Hod who was in his service. My novel The Robin Hood Chronicles blends the stories in the early ballads with what is known of the life of Robyn Hod to make a coherent biography of the legendary figure.
Did Hermann Hagedorn wrote the lyrics to To a wild rose?
The words for "To a Wild Rose" were written by Hermann Hagedorn to go with the piano piece. It was published in 1912 in "Poems and Ballads", with the subtitle "(For music by Edward MacDowell)." The setting of the poem is described as "The spirit of the master speaks in deep woods." The book "Poems and Ballads" is available in Google Books.
Why did Robin Hood choose Sherwood forest to live in?
Actually the earliest sources of the Robin Hood legend, ballads dating before 1450, do not have Robin living in Sherwood Forest at all. They place him in Barnsdale Heath, about 50 miles north of Sherwood Forest. My novel The Robin Hood Chronicles follows the ballads in placing Robin in Barnsdale Heath. I identify the Robin of the ballads with a real-life Robyn who lived in Wakefield, near Barnsdale, and had been a follower of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. When Thomas was defeated by Edward II at the Battle of Boroughbridge in 1322, Edward II declared all of Thomas's soldiers were outlaws and sent his soldiers to hunt them down and kill them. I believe that is why Robin left his home in Wakefield and moved into Barnsdale Heath, where it would be difficult for Edward's soldiers to find him.
Was Robin Hood fact or fiction?
http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/England-History/RobinHood.htm Robin Hood was both; that is, he was a real person about whom fictional stories were made. I base my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles on the earliest sources, which are ballads dating from about the 14th century. In one of them King Edward -- most likely Edward II -- makes Robin Hood one of his yeomen. Edward II actually did have a valet and porter named Robyn Hod. My novel blends the stories in the ballads with what information is actually known about Robyn Hod; it's a half-serious attempt to re-create in fiction what may be the actual facts behind the Robin Hood legend.
