dafodil Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 He was called Robin of Loxley and had a pub named after him in that area. His mate John Little moved to Hathersage and is buried there. So yes both Sheffielders as stated in Sir Walter Scott's book Ivanhoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grinder Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I heard the guys in tights went in the pub higher up. Allegedly...... As for Robin hood, the legend say's he wore Lincoln green a cloth produced in Lincoln, but that doesn't mean he must have come from Lincoln. I have a navy blue suit but that doesn't make me a sailor It also says the Sheriff was from Nottingham, but that doesn't mean he came from Nottingham, it just means that the the area he worked in was under that Sheriffs jurisdiction.. So if such a person ever existed outside of legend then why not.... Edited November 14, 2014 by grinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if such a person ever existed outside of legend then why not.... Also the position of 'Sheriff of Nottingham' didn't exist then. According to Wikepedia: 'From 1068 until 1567, the position existed as*'High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the Royal Forests' Earliest references put him in the Barnsdale area, but he could have operated in Sherwood Forest which stretched much forther then, a horse ride away. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
