Is Robin Hood fictional, real, or James Frey-ish?

The origins of the Robin Hood story are a bit nebulous and don't give us a definitive picture of whether or not he was an actual historical figure, a story made up to provide the people with a hero, or an amalgamation of the stories of various outlaws of the time. According to the BBC, the first literary mention of Robin Hood is from the work Piers Plowman, written by William Langland in 1377. In the following century or two (during and around the reign of King John), numerous works sprouted up that mention Robin Hood (using variations on the name such as Robyn Hode and Robin Hoode).

These stories began to form the basis of the modern fairy tale of Robin Hood that we know today. What complicates matters even more is that a number of outlaws and bandits of the time apparently took on the name of Robin Hood when committing their crimes, making it hard to discern which acts where made by the True Robin Hood and which were done by imposters.

Robin Hood was based on a real character - or more from this webpage as it details different people. The first one seems to fit into the name and everything. Details were added to the character to make it into the character that they wanted.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
