The Robin Hood stories were certainly very popular with King Henry VIII, who ruled England at the start of the 16^th century. Henry was a child when the stories were first printed, but they fascinated him for the rest of his life. (_a_)

After all this time it is hard to tell how the stories began. Some people think that Robin Hood is a fictional character; others think he really lived, and they argued about which part of England he was from.

(_b_) The idea that they were stealing from rich folk to give to the poor has saved them from being branded as villains. They certainly chose their victims carefully, sparing the poor and picking on those who were wealthy and proud.

(_c_) A porter is someone who has to do fetching and carrying work, and the idea fits in badly with all the other stories about his life and character. Enthusiasts prefer to believe that he spent the whole of his life in the woods. They say that most of stories about him are perfectly true – but not this particular episode. (_d_) On the other hand, they cannot explain why anyone would ever invent such a story, which ruins the whole Robin Hood romance.

Historians have tried to check the facts by looking for clues in all sorts of places. They have studied Edward II’s accounts, which show the wages he paid to his workers – including a porter called Robin Hood. In November 1324, Hood received his final payment: ‘five shillings because he could no longer work’.

(_c_) If so, Robin Hood was a real criminal who lived in the reign of Edward II. His career of crime was apparently brought to a sudden end when he was caught and made to work as a servant.

1. One story says that Hood was captured and made to work as a porter at the court of King Edward II.

2. According to the stories, Robin Hood and his men were thieves who robbed wealthy travelers in lovely woods.
