At the same time it is possible that Robin Hood has always been a fictional character ; the folklorist Francis James Child declared " Robin Hood is absolutely a creation of the ballad-muse " and this view has been neither proven or disproven.

It has long been suggested, notably by John Maddicott, that " Robin Hood " was a stock alias used by thieves.
