It seems that the original legend started with a song called "A Gest of Robyn Hode", back about a 1300 years after Jesus. Over the following 200 years, there were at least eight criminals called "Robin Hood" or similiar names. There are actual court records of Robyn Hode's trial, still available. The transformation to Robert of Lockley, the Earl of Huntingdon, is fascinating. Gee, this was over ten centuries after you-know-who, and we are not really sure whether there was ever one "Robin Hood", knight or commoner. I see a parallel. Why are the Xians so insistent on a historical savior. THe actual available documents of the N.T. are about 400 years after the fact. We don't have any Roman records of trial for J.C., or, for that matter, Paul of Tarsus. Open for opinions. Shoot me down, with a Golden Arrow?
