Why The Legend Of Robin Hood Is More Complex Than Previously Thought And Possibly Wrong
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - According to legend, Robin Hood was a heroic outlaw from Nottingham, UK. Living in Sherwood Forest, he was famous for robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
The legend of Robin Hood dates back to King John's reign in the 13th century.
He was one of three prominent outlaws, including Fulk Fitzwarin and Eustace the Monk. Still, while the latter two were identified as historical figures, it is unclear who exactly Robin Hood was.
It was a time when forests were covered by forest law and protected as private hunting grounds for the king.
However, many fugitives hid in these areas, and Sherwood and Barnsdale Forest feature heavily in the legends.
