Robin Hood is the most famous Englishman who ever lived. The World's Greatest Outlaw. The Greatest Yorkshireman wrongly known for activities in Nottinghamshire. During his life he was outlawed and hunted by the Crown before being pardoned and befriended by the King of England. Now in 2025 Historian Robert Chasterlaine has broken the Robin Hood Code which for 800 years has hidden Robin's real identity firstly from the Sherriff of Nottingham (and Yorkshire) and then an army of Historians and researchers.
The key to the code lay in a grave slab lying in a Yorkshire field.
In the year 1247, the outlaw known as Robert Hode, was ambushed and killed at a nunnery at Kirklees, a grave was made by the roadside alerting bypassers to the demise of the notorious outlaw and robber. Before long a finely carved cross slab was put in it's place honouring the outlaw - the earliest Hood artifact which was documented by a Tudor historian in 1568 and sketched by Stuart antiquarian in 1665. The Kirklees Cross Slab, the most overlooked of all Hoodian documents revealed the name of Robin Hood's associates William of Goldsborough. Robert Chasterlaine has identified the most credible Robin Hood candidate ever, a real Robert of Loxley born in 1172 who was dispossessed of his lands during the reign of King John, outlawed and who was related to William of Goldsborough.
