Great work as always.

and this is just a personal thing, but why do people keep making characters in Robin Hood black/African. Sorry I´m just a bit of a history entusiast and this stuff bugs me, but anyways great work

@Jonatanen
Probably because Robin Hood is European, and contrary to common modern belief, medieval Europe had quite a lot of contact with the African continent
Granted, a lot of contact was in the form of religious warfare, but the continents certainly weren't isolated from each other.
I mean, Africa isn't THAT far away. Those that had the means could travel quite a lot during medieval times, and there was a notable exchange of goods between Europe, Africa and Asia.

@Jonatanen also nowhere in any of the stories I've read has Robin Hood's description been given so as far as we know he couldve been dark skinned. And if he wasn't well stories do change over time and that's just a part of human culture and storytelling, I wouldn't get too worked up over it.

@WestofAragon well the Robin Hood story takes place in the 1200 or so (based on King Ricard going on the Crusade in the stories) so it is very unlikely if not almost impossible for a black person to get to england much rather become a noble as he is in some stories. futhermore the level of archery skill displayed in the story, is impossibly rare outside England at that time and while some afrikans used bows, i believe spears were more commonly used. And as i said its more of a personal thing as there is little to no evidance that he was not a white englishman.
