Before attempting to build the site, I trawled as much Robin Hood online as possible From the literally millions of websites on our hero , only a handful had complete concise & up to date content . Some of the best sites have very poor google optimisation (harder to find) So knowing a little about SEO I figured that it should be reasonably straight forward to build a popular & arguably accurate site . No original content other than text & pictures, made me exploit a very large gap . My Robin Hoods grave videos were born , I expect that by early 2008 this blog will work its way into the first page of google "ROBIN HOOD"
sooner maybe if I can spare the time .
Theres a few absolutely brilliant websites (more of those in the links) that it would be inappropriate for me to try to overtake in popularity & accuracy so I have decided to actively promote all these sites as well .

After 16 years of reading/research , my feelings have become firm on the RH story ,
more than enough evidence exists , to prove to me he definitely lived (& was born lived & died in Yorkshire)
The site of the grave , I fear no longer has the bones of our hero & maybe never did,
(the field 300 yards away perhaps) but it retains the essence of the legend . (I am reasonably sure he was reburied at Hartshead church 1500-1600)
Nevertheless Kirklees park is a truly inspiring place , & when viewed from Google Earth it can clearly be seen as a bow & arrow . The site is thought to have been excavated on 2 or 3 occasions . The history of the site has so many stories its hard to know where to begin , 2000 years ago there was a Roman fort (the remains can still bee seen)its very fair to assume such an encampment would be a target for the native Brigants , Celts & Picts . I dare say that blood was spilled here (around about the time of Jesus Christ?) , or thereabouts .
The Priory enjoyed 600 years of protection from Rome & it was only the dissolution of the church that brought about its destruction , and subsequent rebuilding as Kirklees Hall . There are thought to be thousands of nuns buried broadly accross the area , a number of symbolic markings (runes ?**) bare visible from google earth . & the odd celtic cross (in somebodys back garden)
So thats something else I need to research . Thanks for reading , you will find all manner of historic & hearsay opinion here some borrowed from other sources but much of my own interpretation of said opinion .


So it is possible that some scholars of 13th century history , may disagree with
some of the content herin , that said historians need to be critically selective .
I trust my own intuition on this subject , I hope others may put forward any ideas
& / or criticisms .. but only if you have walked in Robins bold footsteps .
