However the first known literary reference to Robin Hood and his men was in 1377, and the Sloane manuscripts in the British Museum have an account of Robin's life which states that he was born around 1160 in Lockersley (most likely modern day Loxley) in South Yorkshire.
But Robin Hood is an anachronism of the fourteenth century, and the glories of Norman and Plantagenet England rest on the foundations laid by the Anglo-Saxons. This essay explores those foundations. Anglo-Saxon England almost died aborning. It survived only by the military and political genius of Alfred the Great.
