Based on a real man or created as a fictional story for entertainment, the tales of Robin Hood have a rich history that many have tried to trace. Ballads were the first way that stories of a lively man named Robyn Hode were spread among the people of England. The high rate of illiteracy brought the oral traditions of passing on stories, or history. Because the wandering minstrel

As the years go by the legend of Robin Hood never dies. Is he real or was he just made up to captivate our imaginations? It’s believed that Robin was an outdoorsman trying to do well to those who needed it the most. It’s also believed that Robin Hood wasn’t the nice person that he has been seen as.

In it, a drunken priest cannot repeat the Lord’s Prayer, but he knows “rhymes of Robin Hood,” which brings the popularity of those ballads at that time. Others argue that the first genuine appearance of Robin Hood in printed form occurs in A Lytell Jeste of Robyn Hode, a poem telling the story of an outlaw and his adventures. The balla
