Not really. Opinions aside, the early histories and ballads picture a man, a first class archer, who happened to be the leader of one of the many bands of outlaws that infested the royal forests at that time and in that area. There is nothing in the early info about fighting for the less fortunate { although he does help one impoverished knight find justice] or about Normans versus Saxons, or about the Crusades, or about Maid Marion, or about rocket ships. But it is a great story anyway.
uwe:
Once there was a report somewhere in german ? TV or did I read it somewhere? Sorry, don`t remember, where they where searching for Robin Hood. They found in old english churchbooks a man called Robin Hoode (Hode), who lived in the 15th cent. It should have been a homosexual courts joker, as it was said.
Little Robin Hood:
I am a researcher of the Robin Hood legend, and am writing a series based on it. There's a lot more material on him out there than ... many people realize ... I can't give it all away now, but he was definitely a real person. But much further back in time than we've been taught! Audacious fellow.
