The earliest sources of the Robin Hood legend are ballads earlier than 1450. They place Robin Hood in Yorkshire. In one of them King Edward is in Yorkshire and makes Robin Hood his yeoman. The only King Edward who was in Yorkshire before 1450 was Edward II, who was there in 1323. Among the King's servants in 1323 is listed a Robyn Hod. In my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles I assume that this Robyn Hod is the same as the Robin Hood of the ballads.

What was the date Robin Hood was born?
Robin Hood was a folklore legend in England. He has never been proven to have actually existed, so there's no way to know when he was born. Most of the references to him came about in the late 13th century.
Did Robin Hood really exsist?
Yes he did but he really wasn't that good. Nobody ever really thought he was a hero. To everyone else he was just a normal arch-man. He really was but he was just to proud and confident of himself. When Robin really was alive he would just tell all the kids he was a hero. The children actually believed his stories and so they passed the old tale on. Well that brings us right to now.The sources of the Robin Hood legend are ballads dating before 1450. Presumably they are based on oral narratives which circulated earlier. Such narratives and ballads could not have existed unless people thought Robin Hood was a hero. In one of the ballads a King Edward comes to Yorkshire and makes Robin one of his yeomen. The only King Edward who was in Yorkshire before 1450 was Edward II. One of the men in Edward II's service was named Robyn Hod. I think Robyn Hod and Robin Hood are the same and therefore Robin Hood really existed. In my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles I blend the stories of the two men, Robin and Robyn, into a coherent biography of a Robin Hood who I believe really existed.
Is Robin Hood a murderer?
I'm not sure if he can be considered a murderer, although he did kill a few people in his time. I prefer to think of Robin Hood as a medieval SWAT commando. He robed from the rich and fed the poor; when he killed people, it was because they stood for something he did not believe in. I think that he only killed people when it was necessary, and he had good reasoning for it, so I'm not sure if the title of "Murderer" would fit Robin Hood.
