Did Robin Hood live in Medieval Times?
Robin Hood is a fiction character, though the book was set in the medieval times, yes.
What do you perceive from Robin Hood as a hero to people?
That he "gave to the poor, took from the rich", crossing the barriers of birth and station of that day and age.
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.
What weapons did the merry men use?
Each one of them had a "specialty" : Will Scarlett wielded the sword , Little john used a quarterstaff , Friar Tuck was a good archer but fought mostly with a sword and a small bucklar . For Robin Hood himself , there is no need to say that his favourite weapon was the English/Welsh longbow .

What did Robin hood do to the rich Saxon noblemen travelling along the road?
Robin Hood is a fictional character, although he may be based on one or more real medieval outlaws.
There were no "rich Saxon noblemen" at the time Robin Hood is said to have lived. The Norman conquerors of England confiscated all Saxon lands and the disinherited and impoverished Saxon nobles emigrated to other countries such as Scotland and Russia. A few Saxon noblewomen were married to Norman nobles (Henry I took a Saxon lady as his first queen), but in general the entire Saxon nobility were obliterated soon after 1066.
Is clitorus connected anyway to the clitorus hood?
Yes the clitoris is just below the hood and connected to it.
How do you buy Robin Hood bow and quiver?
Are you purchasing this item for a small child? If so, it might be best to search the websites for toys. The category would be archery.
If you are purchasing this item for a teen then an athletic store would be the better choice. These bows are good quality and will promote good hunting skills.
If it is for a child, a few minutes with a knife and a springy branch of a tree might be your better choice. A child is more interested in the fantasy than in archery competition and a home made bow and arrow set might be just the ticket. Bend the branch into a bow, attach a stout string, and give your young Robin Hood some rubber tipped darts. An old purse from the thrift store is an excellent "quiver" and he's off to conquer Sherwood Forest.
No i am a kid who does archery and just get him a real bow. if he wants to do archery get him a better one if not there are places where you can get a real one super cheap and quiver just buy one you can buy cheap ones i have a side and back quiver and they were cheap but i need to add more holes in my back quiver

Robin Hood School's motto is 'The school of the future for the learner of today'.
When was the earliest robin hood ballad written and what was its scholarly title?
The earliest Robin Hood ballad in existence is "The Gest of Robin Hood," which I follow in my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles. It is undated, but the evidence is that it was written before 1450. There is a reference to Robin Hood ballads -- the names are not given -- in Langland's Piers Plowman, which was written in 1377, so there must have been some before that date.
Robin Hood evidence that robin hood existed?
None. The story comes from the 1200's when it was an oral poem. People couldn't read so stories were created that were poems. They were easy to remember and to retell. Through the ages the story has changed. Characters have been added, changed, and forgotten. In modern times the story keeps changing because of the movies and new books. The term " hood" was used for the highway robber of the time because they wore a hood over the face. Anyone who was a criminal was a "hood".
Is Robin Hood a human or a fox?
The original Robin Hood was human, while Disney's depiction was an anthromorphic fox.
