Robin Hood
Robin Hood?
Any United Kingdom folk know how much of the Robin Hood legend is based on fact?
The following are snipits from an article i wrote some time ago.
“..scattered thru this response, you will find odd and varying spellings of the Name, These are NOT typo’s. There are dozens of variations of reference.
There are as many versions to the History of Robin Hood; As there are Variations to the Spelling of the names of Key Players.
Some Believe he is Folklore. A Myth, handed down from Generation to generation. Other’s believe he was simply the most famous of all Highwaymen; With his legend told and retold; each a bit grander and More Imaginative.
..And yet others believe that he is a God. A High Priest of Pagan faith. The “Witch Cult”
Even the Official World wide Robin Hood Society Can NOT give a definite statement regarding Origins Or Conclusions.
History has him active in years ranging between 1190 and 1307. It’s not hard to imagine someone living to be 117 years old, but it is hard to imagine them in their “prime” for 117 years..
It is most commonly accepted that it is the sovereignty of the de Grey’s, (John de Grey 1264 and Reginald de Grey 1266) as Sheriff of Nottingham, that caused Robin such Toil.
If we did go off the History dates for King Richard, the Sheriff would more likely be, Ralph Murdac, William Earl Ferrers or William Brewer.
King Richard I Coeur de Lion (the Lionheart, ruled 1189-1199 (born 1157-99) would spend most of his time keeping a promise to Maintain the 3rd Crusade in Recovering the Holy land from Moslem Turks. All the while his Brother Prince John was scheming to overthrow the Thrown. King Richard would learn of his Brothers plans and returned home. At that point he was imprisoned by Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI. Eventually released after a ransom was paid. One month later he would be Mortally wounded in Normandy.
The Sherwood Times, tells the story of When King Richard and Robin Hood meet, wherein Richard the Lionheart would Pardon Robyn and all his men.
In an article by Frank Dennett MBE Sheriff of Nottingham from 1980-81 and 1984-85 He gives quite a few facts:
Saxon Lord William Anschetil, rules the Kyme lands of Lincolnshire.
In 1086 Gilbert de Grant (Gaunt) “manages” as King. He dies.
Ralph Fitzooth (Knight) Begins Rule. He Marries and their Only Child, a Daughter Named Hawise Marries the Saxon Philip de Kyme.
Philip’s son, Simon is the Sheriff of Lincoln. He Marries Rohese.
They in turn have a son named Phillip. He Marries Agnes Wells, Which brings about, Yet another Simon.
He marries Maud de Ferres, the Daughter of William de Ferres; Lord of Loxley.
Simon Dies in 1248, Rule would fall to His Brother William.
William Marries Rohese, they have a daughter Margaret and a son Robert de Kyme.
Rohese would pass away, and Lord William would take another Wife, Lucy.. (Daughter of William de Roos)
However when William dies, true Heir to the rule of lands of Lincolnshire should have fallen to Williams first son Robert de Kyme. Except – his Uprising against the King, would brandish Robert an outlaw and he changed his name to Robin Hood, then sought sanctuary in Sherwood forest.
We know that Robin of Loxley Was loyal to King Richard, and we also know that Robyn Hode Did NOT pay much attention to the Laws of the Land.
We also know that it was Illegal for anyone other than the King to Hunt Deer, and that Venison tended to be the Dinner of Choice among the Merry Men..
His Primary foe; William (Reginald?) de Grey, the Sheriff of Nottingham. (Born 1204 Of Sandiacre, Derbyshire, England) In “A Gest of Robyn Hode” Edited by Stephen Knight and Thomas H. Ohlgren, Robin is Credited as killing the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Those that believe Robin Hood to be Sacrificial King Believe (His cousin) the Abbess of Kirklees was only carrying out the ritual duty. To collect the blood of the Sacrificial King (who must not die of illness or old age) and pour it upon the Earth for “the good of the land”
None the less, Robin Hood died from Blood loss., somewhere between 1290 and 1295, He came to the Priory in Kirklees to seek treatment from the Abbess (Nun Mother.) A cleansing of sort, that involved purging blood from the system, in order to flush the impurities. The procedure failed. It is said that At the end of his life, Little John was right there, and Robin would take his bow and Shoot. Where it landed is where Robin was to be buried.
He lays to rest on the grounds of Kirklees Priory.
The Inscription reads:
“Here underneath dis laitl stean
Laz robert earl of Huntintun
Ne’er arcir ver as hie sa geud
An pipl kauld im robin heud
Sick utlawz as his as iz men
Vil england nivr si agen”

ROBIN HOOD (1 OF 10)
How Robin Hood win the archery contest?
I'm watching Robin Hood and the first boy shot his arrow into the bull's-eye. Then Robin Hood such approaches and slices of the first arrow in the middle. Now my question is, if Robin Hood was directly through the shaft of another sort is not a tie? Did not the same place so successful? I think Robin Hood is a cheat.
HAHAHAHAHAHA, THANKS! Ive been wondering the same thing for years, the only I get to answer that hes is Robin Hood, who has won
