Robin Hood

At the time there was little balance between different classes. The lower and working classes were poor and often starving whilst the upper, aristocratic classes were able to implement taxes to take money from the poor.

Basically Robin Hood wanted to take money from those who had no need for it and give it to those in dire need. Although the moral of the story is not viable in modern welfare states and should not be applied.

Robin Hood was an outlaw and required some place un-patrolled to live.

In the Robin Hood ballads, yes he did.

No. The sheriff failed to capture Robin Hood.

That is a subject of much debate among historians. It is generally conceded today, that he did not "steal from the rich and give to the poor", he stole from everyone and kept ever penny of it. But he is seem by some as a force against the evils of the government of the time, and by other researchers he is seen as a plain old garden-variety thug. Take your pick.

Stories say yes, but other people say no. I don't think there is a right, or wrong answer.

Robin Hood was a Saxon Hero. His story was passed by oral tradition - as few saxons could write. The Normans and monks could write, but it is possible that an Anti-Norman, Saxon Hero was simply erased from history. Official history was created by the people, or person writing it.

At the siege of Rochester Castle, the rebels surrendered to King John in 1215. Only one person was executed. He was an archer. This archer must have particularly angered King John - and yet his name was not recorded. The most famous archer in the rebelion against King John, was of course, Robin Hood. If he was at the siege of Rochester, he most certainly would have been executed.

If robin was real people belive that from ancient storys and poems that his name was Robin of Loxley. He then went and fought in a crusade and when he returned his father had been killed and the sherif of nottinham had claimed the land. When the sheriff found out that Robin Hood was back he was set on finding Robin. Robin then ran into sherwood forest and was approached by a gang of bandits. Robin then won a fight and became apart the group, over time he became the leader of the group of bandite ( now known as the merry men). Robin then killed all the gaurds and tax collecters that enterd the forest. zhe apperantly gave the money back to poor i think that he would of kept it all for himself. But anyway we all know what happend from here dut robin died when he returned from a hunt when he had grown pretty old. He then went to the piory gate house were they would heal him but the nurse opend his viens to use a common cure called bloodn letting but she did not shut his viens and only left him for dead a man then came up to kill robin but robin killed him and died a short time after. :(

The answer to this question can never be known. My novel The Robin Hood Chronicles is based on the earliest existing sources of the legend, which are some ballads written before 1450. Very likely these ballads were themselves based on oral narratives which circulated around northern England in the fourteenth century. But the names of the people who first told these stories was never recorded.

Robin Hood was a fictional character that began in the 1200's as an oral poem. Through the years the story has changed and characters added to it. In fact, the story is still evolving because of movies and new additions of characters.

Robin Hood aka Robin Of Sherwood . Robin objected to the high taxes and was declared an outlaw. Other oppressed Englishmen joined his group of outlaws and they rob from the rich and give it too the poor.

There are actors who play the part of Robin Hood (in movies or TV shows), but Robin Hood is a person referred to most often in English folklore and ballads.

He is known for stealing from the rich and giving it to the poor!

Commercial range hoods would typically be found and used at large food preparation facilities such as restaurants and hotels. Some people may choose to use them in their homes.

The Sloane manuscript of 1600 claimed that Robin Hood was born in 1160.

It is not known for sure when Robin Hood was born, if he really existed. There is some record of a Robyn Hood in the early 1300's, but similar records of Hoods have existed throughout history.

Robin Hood was a fictional character that began in the 1200's as an oral poem. Through the years the story has changed and characters added to it. In fact, the story is still evolving because of movies and new additions of characters. The term "hood" in the 1200's was used as a name to call people who robbed others. It is like our saying " gang member." This is used to describe a person who does bad things , and this is how "hood" was used.

The original sources of the Robin Hood legend are ballads composed before 1450. I base my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles on these ballads. They refer to a King Edward, who visits Robin in Yorkshire. The only King Edward who was in Yorkshire was Edward II, who was there in 1323. In the ballad King Edward makes Robin one of his yeomen. There is a Robyn Hod listed among the servants of Edward II in 1323. This Robyn Hod had a wife named Mathilda. Maid Marian did not enter the Robin Hood legend for another 300 years. So the answer to the question is: If we are talking about a historical Robin Hood, he did not marry Maid Marian.

Sir Guy of Gisborne killed her with a sword because she said she would rather die than marry him.

Yes, Lincoln green in fact. The reason for this is explained in the novel Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott: they found a cache of goods hidden by Isaac the Jew, all that was in it was bolts of fabric of Lincoln green.

To be rigorous however Robin wore Scarlet, only his men wore green.

In the story Robin Hood, Robin is grown already, a man on his own, and although he is young he has already moved away from home. His parents are not referenced in the story. Sorry!

This depends upon which version you read, as the story that we know as 'Robin Hood' does not come from one singular author. In one version he and his parents lived in Serwood Forest until he became an outlaw, in another he was the son of Lord Locksley.

Robin Hood is a fictional character, though in most stories about him he is described as being average to tall, about 6 feet or so.

Is Robin Hood the earliest year in1377

No, but it is a classic. Robin Hood does involve some magic, but it is more in the practical medieval witchcraft sense then fairy like. Fairy Tale magic generally comes more in the form of talking animals, fairies, goblins, and the like.

Yes, very much so

Sir Robin of Locksley, defender of downtrodden Saxons, runs afoul of Norman authority and is forced to turn outlaw. With his band of Merry Men, he robs from the rich, gives to the poor and still has time to woo the lovely Maid Marian, and foil the cruel Sir Guy of Gisborne, and keep the nefarious Prince John off the throne.
