I am Robin Hood :) ...
Robin Hood as a creature of myth has become very popular in recent years. One of the best examples is 1980s television series Robin of Sherwood where Robin Hood is the servant of the stag-headed Herne the Hunter. And it's tempting to make Robin Hood a leader in the underground "witch cults" that Margaret Murray claimed, with some exaggeration, existed. But some historians who suggest that Robin was the leader of coven point to the 12-13 members in the Merry Men. There are usually far more than 13 Merry Men in the ballads. While clearly the Robin Hood legend does owe something to magical legends, there seems little historical basis for the more extreme mythic claims.
