34. The Earliest Robin Hood Chroniclers Were Scottish, Not English
There are some inconsistencies in the legends, particularly in the earlier ones. For example, Robin Hood is said to live in Barnhill and frequently travel between there and Nottingham. However, Barnhill and Nottingham are 30 miles away from each other, quite a distance for a Medieval horseman. These discrepancies can be explained by the fact that the earliest chroniclers of Robin Hood were not English, who would have been familiar with the area, but rather Scottish.
