Ridley Scott is doing an alien prequal, can't wait to see that, as for robin hood, the fight sequences have an essence of gladiator (another ridley masterpeice) to them as in the graphic scenes of blood, think i'll wait for this one to go to DVD. |

Well i have collected over the years a good amount of information on this subject.
The guy was born in Horbury and lived as an adult in Sandal (my home village) he died in a convent that is now a pub called the 3 bells at Brighouse. his sister in law was the abbess and blad him to death on purpose to stop him causing further trouble after he got injured. He has a grave within the grounds of Kirklees priory although Lady Armatage (my former employer)has set up a false headstone to stop the real 1 getting damaged.

If Robin Hood was not fictional... then maybe Kind Arthur was not either - and there were my idols Sean Connery and Richard Gere playing King Arthur and Lancelot ... yummy...one had the mature, the other the passionate charisma. Both very sexy ... |

But then Mel Gibson was allowed to play Braveheart...;-)"
A Jew-hating Aussie playing a mad jock. Sounds about right. |

"I always thought Robin Hood was a fictional character, like King Arthur.  "
So did I but stood corrected earlier.
So are all the tales about the Knights of the Round Table, Excalibur etc ... myth?

There was a programme on the History channel a year or so ago that all but ruled out Robin Hood being a singular person, they studied the early references to 'Robyn Hood (or Hode)' and found them to be popular ballads and nothing more. |

Well, I'd hazard a guess that there wasn't a lady drowning in a lake somewhere lobbing swords at any old passer by. Could be wrong though. |

Not too sure about the name of the pub Zoe and Steve. Visited there last year for some sexy photo's and it is called the 3 nuns, after the Abbess you mentioned. Got some wicked pics of two sexy ladies at Robin Hoods Grave, its about half a mile behind the pub up in the woods. |

The King's Remembrancer's Memoranda Roll of Easter 1262 notes the pardoning of the prior of Sandleford for seizing without warrant the chattels of one William Robehod, fugitive. This case can be cross-referenced with the roll of the Justices in Eyre in Berkshire in 1261, in which a criminal gang is outlawed, including William son of Robert le Fevere, whose chattels were seized without warrant by the prior of Sandleford.
This William son of Robert and William Robehod were certainly one and the same, and some clerk during transcription had changed the name. It follows that the man who changed the name knew of the legend and equated the name of Robin Hood with outlawry.
This is merely the earliest of several such references to Robehods or Robynhods, most of them outlaws, after the mid-C13th, and it provides a useful terminus ante quem for the existence of the legend. Robin Hood must have existed before 1261 for his name to have been misused in such a way.
We should not be surprised at such misuse. There are numerous cases in the C13th & C14th of outlaws deliberately taking on the pseudonyms of Robin Hood and Little John, and it seems likely that the original Friar Tuck who got accreted to the legend was one Robert Stafford who was active in Sussex between 1417 and 1429. Yet this in itself indicates just how difficult it is to tie Robin Hood down, since each misuse of the legend adds details of its own.

Wish I could remember the name of the programme that was shown on the History Channel about Robin Hood, it was a joint study by the British Museum and the University of Nottingham into the folklore.
They came to the conclusion that Robin Hood (originally called Robyn Hode) was little more than a story based of early ballads.
They managed to disprove more than they could prove, it was determined that he would have had to be 185 years of age if he was in fact the Earl of Huntingdon, there was also no Sheriff of Nottingham in place at the supposed time of Robyn Hode.
He also could not have been an ally of King Richard (The Lionheart) as he precedes this by over 100 years.
If this folklore is to be believed Robyn Hode would have been 211 years of age when he was finally laid to rest.
So in all likelyhood just a medieval ballad.

William Robehod is stretching it a bit. Robin Hood wasn't known as Bill to his mates, was he? Or maybe, as the existence of Maid Marion and Friar Tuck is also in doubt maybe he had no mates and from there the term, "Billy No Mates" was derived.
So to recap, one William Robehod burgled a couple of houses, robbed a few rich dicks on the road to... wherever and decided to go camping in the woods to escape the rozzers (but may have been peeping young couples having a 'tryst' and as the woods were off limits to any Tom, Dick or Harry, he was given the nickname 'Peeping Tom') - he gets about this fella don't he?
Perhaps his name wasn't Billy at all and Robin Hood came about cos he robbed people whilst wearing a hoodie, which means his descendants are alive and well and living in Leeds. |

lol....maybe this was billy from the tyne??
John was King from 1199 - 1216 (I think) and 1262 is the first reference to a Robehood, whilst the first literary reference to a Robin Hood did not appear until 1377 with most of the tales not appearing until around 100 years later.
The legends grew and drew on references to real life middle age outlaws such as fulk fitz warin, eustace the monk and william wallace.
Wakefield's claim is through a chap called robert hode listed on the yorkshire assize rolls around 1225, whilst another candidate put forward as the real robin hood is robert wetherby, another outlaw active in the Uk at this time.
The legends form a part of the stories from around the time of King John, there are other outlaws that can be easily identified from around this time, but Robin Hood, as an individual, is not so easy to identify.
The point thy're making I think is that this, like many names from the middle ages has been bastardised and this name has then been used by several 'outlaws' thru the centuries. several criminals in the middle ages have been assigned surnames such as robehood.
