Robin des Bois est d'abord un héros de chansons : vers 1377, le poème Piers Plowman évoque déjà les « rimes de Robin Hood ». Ces ballades, chantées par des ménestrels, se transmettent oralement avant d'être imprimées vers 1500 (A Gest of Robyn Hode). Le Robin des origines est un yeoman, un homme du peuple, pas un noble ; Marian et frère Tuck viennent des fêtes de mai ; c'est à la fin du XVIe siècle que des pièces de théâtre en font un comte déchu. La légende a été réécrite à chaque époque : la voix passive le dit bien (he was turned into...).
