ROBIN´S LINAGE

It is generally agreed that Robin was a Saxon noble. Variations, however, include that he had a Saxon father and a Norman mother (thereby making him unwelcome in either circle); that he was the son of one of the last Saxon thegns to maintain a fiefdom after the Norman invasion; and that he was a Crusading Knight who returned from the Holy Land to find his lands taken.
