The first reference to “Robyn Hode” makes it quite clear that he was around in the reign of “King Edward”, not Richard the Lionheart. The location was Yorkshire, not nottingham, as well.

Stories like this tend to grow in the telling - probably we will never know the truth. Possibly we would not want to know the reality - it wouldnt be so exciting! The legend has a reality of its own - a man fighting against an oppressive government tax clampdown, in the name of the legitimate authority. A kind of loyal rebel.

With a last name like Marx, you are defending the tax system of the US?
