Roger Godberd: Robin Good)

DID YOU KNOW??…….

Robin Hood did exist (legend):

His name was Roger Godberd, he was eventually called Robin Good or robin good, then adapted as Hood. He was a man of about 30 years.

Bold with the bow and arrow who lived in the Xlll century, is said to have been a great friend of the Sheriff of Nottingham but life circumstances took them in opposite paths, as Roger could not bear the idea of abuse of the rich towards farmers and the people from the lowest resources of the villages.

According to some reports the first robbery was a shipment of skins and food that some soldiers of the King had snatched from people from one of the villages where he spent most of his time… then saw in this a way to help people as everything he “stole” or recovered was given to poor people.

He is said to have died betrayal by one of his men who wanted to collect his reward, he was adored by the poor of Nottingham and Yorkshire, his grave is in Yorkshire, England and is almost 800 years old……..
