Ridley Scott's latest film Robin Hood was released on 12th May .To some it is a fresh new perspective on the legendary outlaw to others it is just a replica of Gladiator.
But what is the historical fact behind the legend of Robin hood ? It is simply not possible to locate the historical Robin Hood with any certainty. His fame and popularity were such that within a generation his true identity had been obscured by legend. There is some written evidence of a fugitive called Robert Hod, nicknamed "Hobbehod" in 1225 and an epitaph on a grave at Kirkless dated 1247 .On this flimsy evidence , it is possible to construct a chronology; Robin hood active in the 1190s, an oulaw by 1225, dead by 1247 and a legend by 1261.
