Is Robin Hood based on a historic person?

No - he is just a legend but a very, very old legend ( I mean he was alegend in the 24th century!) and sometimes associated with the Green Man of the forest and other Pantheist personnel. Here is a reasonable site to explore more. http://www.geocities.com/puckrobin/rh/robages2.html Aug 12 03, 12:06 PM

He is supposed to have carried on a feud with the Sheriff of Nottingham, but Nottingham didn't have a sheriff until 1449, long after Robin Hood is reputed to have been active. Aug 12 03, 12:09 PM

The story is older than you might think. The 1226 court records tell of a man named Robert Hod who was seized by the Sheriff of York. This Sheriff later became the Sheriff of Nottingham. The court rolls of Wakefield, England, in 1316 and 1317, record Robert Hood and his wife Mathilda. This has been also speculated as the original Robin Hood. The poem "A Gest of Robyn Hode" was printed sometime around 1510, which tell many of the aventures in the modern tale. We will never know which are the true facts, however it is the spirit of freedom and independence that has endeared him to many generations. Aug 13 03, 4:03 AM
