Did Robin Hood die by an arrow in his back?

Depends on which film you watch.

One of the best films is "Robin and Marian" starring Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. In this film, Robin Hood is poisoned and shoots an arrow out the window. Wherever it lands is where he is to be buried.

There is not record proving that Robin Hood was a real person, or perhaps, he is based on several people. Thus, a cause of death is impossible to determine on a fictional character.

Some stories of Robin Hood are based on the story of King Richard I - The Lionheart, a real person. The King of England 1189-1199. He died from a arrow to the shoulder by a young boy. He died a few days after the injury from infection.

Was king Richard in Robin Hood evil?

The real King Richard was King Richard the Lionheart I. He was the monarch before the Magna Carta. He knew very little English and was mainly on crusades. To do this, he had to charge heavy taxes. At first the people, especially the barons, applauded their king's bravery- hence "lionheart"-but the taxes circled down the social ladder, the bishops and the barons taxes the free men more, who consequentially made the serfs work more. He had Absolute Power, meaning he had power to punish anyone without trial, without evidence. Th barons became displeased and demanded change from Prince John, on condition that he was made monarch, the King John took over and did not fulfill their hopes so they wrote the Magna Carta. I don't think he was evil - especially in the sense of the story, in which Robin and his henchmen applauded his decisions- more ignorant and misguided.

What crimes did Robin Hood commit?

When did Robin Hood die?

The story of Robin Hood first shows up as an oral poem around the year 1225 and this is told from person to person. It was in poetry form so people could remember it. As the story grows and evolves new characters are added and the storyline changes with the times. The modern retelling of the story has added events, people, and times to the tale, so to a great deal of extent he has never died. A fictional character that always evolves.

What is the message of the story of Robin Hood?

The moral lesson of Robin Hood is that regardless of what time you live in, money will always give you power and you will instantly be deemed evil and worthy of victimisation for either being born into it or working hard to achieve it.



Answer 2

There is no one answer - in the c.750 years the Robin Hood tales have been in circulation, each generation has found its own moral lessons in the tales, and conversely produced new tales or changed old ones to create new morals.



This was true from the very beginning of the Robin Hood myth: the earliest tales portray very different Robins both from one another and from the Robin we know today. Freedom fighter/proto-Socialist/disinherited Earl he was not. The earliest tales tell of a low-born, rather violent, outlaw, who did not rob from the rich to give to the poor, but robbed from the undeserving and gave (some) to the (sort of) deserving.


The moral lessons of the early tales reflect the different morality of the time. Whilst the complex texts don't lend themselves to simple moral lessons of the type we're used to from Hollywood movies and Dan Brown novels, wry observation, ironic characterisation and a sense of natural justice hold up hypocrisy, dishonesty and irreligion as worthy of punishment, and lampoon abuse of authority as a sin against the natural order. Yet the same tales are accepting of the standing social hierarchy and of religion, and Robin is shown to love his King and the Virgin as he 'should'.


Ever since, new moralities have been embroidered over the original cloth of the tales, and so we can see the development of the legend as a function of the changing morality of its authors and audience. Through the Reformation, the Civil War, Victorian Romanticism, 20th century global warfare and 21st century materialistic guilt, we see a different Robin for every generation.

Were and when did Robin Hood live?

What are the claws like on the robin?

The beaks and claws of robins are sharp enough for them to perform what they need to do to survive. For instance, they are able to use their claws to climb trees and grasp prey and their beaks are sharp enough to pierce insects and crack seeds.

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.

What year was Robin Hood supposed to have been around?

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.
