Page "Robin Hood" Paragraph 4

Other traditions point to a variety of locations as Robin's " true " home both inside Yorkshire and elsewhere, with the abundance of places named for Robin causing further confusion.

A tradition dating back at least to the end of the 16th century gives his birthplace as Loxley, Sheffield in South Yorkshire, while the site of Robin Hood's Well in Skellow, South Yorkshire, has been associated with Robin Hood since at least 1422.

Records show a man named Robin Hood lived in Wakefield, Yorkshire, in the 13th and 14th centuries.

His grave has been claimed to be at Kirklees Priory near Mirfield in West Yorkshire, as implied by the 18th-century version of Robin Hood's Death, and there is a headstone there of dubious authenticity.
