or group of bandits operating in Northern England in the 1200's. The accounts are written in various texts and many scholars believe that the "Robin Hood" character is a compilation of several notable medieval thieves. There are some scholars, though, who reject Robin Hood's existence outright, but it is definitely open to debate.
Obviously this scholar believes that the legend has some veracity.
