Robin Hood is one of the most famous legendary characters of all time. Although his existence is not clearly verified, he is believed to be an Englishman from medieval times.
It wasn't until 1589 that the first claims of Robin Hood as a thief who stole from the rich to give to the poor began to arise. Robin Hood then became a noble symbol of resistance to tyranny.
The legendary Robin Hood was known to be enemies with the Sherriff of Nottingham, and later ballads paired him with a companion, Maid Marian. It is believed that he had a group of men working for him whom he called his “Merry Men”.
Historical Inspiration:
The historical figure behind the legend of Robin Hood remains a mystery, but scholars have several theories:
Robert Hood was an outlaw who failed to appear in court in the summer of 1225. Royal judges in York failed to pay the ordered penalty and his name appeared as "Robbehod" in the following year's ledger.
William Robehod was another outlaw mentioned in court records from 1261.
