Robin Hood has been identified

[1an]

Hi, newbie here so I apologise if I have posted this in the wrong part of the forum. I saw a thread saying that Robin Hood's home had been found in a dig at Bolsterstone which is not far from where I live and is quite close to Loxley.

The better news is that a pardon has been found for Robin Hood by two researchers David Pilling and Rob Lynley. Robin was involved in the Peasants Revolt at York. His pardon reads, “Robert Hode (Hood), otherwise known as Robert Dore of Wadsley (West Riding of Yorkshire) given the King’s pardon on 22nd May 1382.” (Roll of King’s Pardons 4-5 Richard II 1382) Loxley belonged to the Wadsley estate.

Have a read here, you might find the time-line interesting?

Ah, but you need to be robbed first, or otherwise unjustly treated or wronged in some way. :smile:
