There are plenty of websites where people argue about the historical accuracy of RH stories and the places/periods he's supposed to have operated in.

Having studied the ballads in depth and the plays and the books about him, I feel there's a strong likelihood there were lots of RHs, and their exploits are in reality about as romantic as Billy the Kid. The ballads/legends are pure fiction made up for pageants and suchlike in the 16th/17th centuries, some even later. The previously mentioned Lawrence Price wrote some of them, along with Martin Parker.
