We know from a reference in William Langland's Piers Plowman, that ballads about Robin Hood were being sung from at least the late 14th century and the oldest detailed material we have is Wynkyn de Worde's collection of Robin Hood ballads printed about 1495.

* 1982: Ivanhoe, a television movie starring Anthony Andrews as Ivanhoe, Michael Hordern as his Cedric, Sam Neill as Sir Brian de Bois-Gilbert, Olivia Hussey as Rebecca, James Mason as Isaac, Lysette Anthony as Rowena, Julian Glover as King Richard, and David Robb as Robin Hood.

Robin is represented as a fighter for de Montfort's cause.

However, it is uncontroversial that a Robin and Marion figured in 13th-century French " pastourelles " ( of which Jeu de Robin et Marion c. 1280 is a literary version ) and presided over the French May festivities, " this Robin and Marion tended to preside, in the intervals of the attempted seduction of the latter by a series of knights, over a variety of rustic pastimes.

In the Jeu de Robin and Marion, Robin and his companions have to rescue Marion from the clutches of a " lustful knight ".

Another theory identifies him with the historical outlaw Roger Godberd, who was a die-hard supporter of Simon de Montfort, which would place Robin Hood around the 1260s.

Some problems with this theory are that there is no evidence that Godberd was ever known as Robin Hood and no sign in the early Robin Hood ballads of the specific concerns of de Montfort's revolt.

The naming of Marian may have come from the French pastoral play of c. 1280, the Jeu de Robin et Marion, although this play is distinct from the English legends.

The 1938 film, The Adventures of Robin Hood, starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland, portrayed Robin as a hero on a national scale, leading the oppressed Saxons in revolt against their Norman overlords while Richard the Lionheart fought in the Crusades ; this movie established itself so definitively that many studios resorted to movies about his son ( invented for that purpose ) rather than compete with the image of this one.

Flynn co-starred with Olivia de Havilland in eight films: Captain Blood ( 1935 ), The Charge of the Light Brigade ( 1936 ), The Adventures of Robin Hood ( 1938 ), Four's a Crowd ( 1938 ), Dodge City ( 1939 ), The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex ( 1939 ), Santa Fe Trail ( 1940 ), and They Died with Their Boots On ( 1941 ).

While Flynn acknowledged his attraction to de Havilland, film historian Rudy Behlmer's assertions that they were romantically involved during the filming of Robin Hood ( see the Special Edition of Robin Hood on DVD, 2003 ) have been disputed by de Havilland.

** George de Dunbar, 10th Earl of March ( d. 1420 )

John de Warenne had won a victory over the aristocracy of Scotland at the Battle of Dunbar and his belief that he was now dealing with a rabble proved that he had greatly underestimated the Scottish forces.

Patrick de Dunbar, 9th Earl of March, ( c. 1285 – 1369 ) was a prominent Scottish magnate during the reigns of Robert the Bruce and David II.

After the Battle of Bannockburn, Patrick de Dunbar gave sanctuary and quarter to the English King Edward II at the fortress of Dunbar Castle, on the east coast of Scotland between Edinburgh and Berwick-upon-Tweed, and managed to effect the king's escape by means of a fishing boat whereby that monarch was transported back to England.

Robin Dunbar suggests a link between primate grooming and the development of human language.

According to a study by Robin Dunbar at the University of Liverpool, primate brain size is determined by social group size.

Gossip, according to Robin Dunbar, does for group-living humans what manual grooming does for other primates — it allows individuals to service their relationships and so maintain their alliances on the basis of the principle, if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

The social brain hypothesis was proposed by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who argues that human intelligence did not evolve primarily as a means to solve ecological problems, but rather intelligence evolved as a means of surviving and reproducing in large and complex social groups.

Dunbar's number was first proposed by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who theorized that " this limit is a direct function of relative neocortex size, and that this in turn limits group size ... the limit imposed by neocortical processing capacity is simply on the number of individuals with whom a stable inter-personal relationship can be maintained.
