Biography
According to one account, Robin Hood met the First Doctor and his companions Susan, Ian and Barbara. They discovered that Ian Chesterton was a perfect double of Robin Hood. Robin died during an attempt to assault the Nottingham's castle. (PROSE: The Thief of Sherwood)
According to a second account, a sceptical Twelfth Doctor brought Clara Oswald to Sherwood Forest in 1190, in an attempt to disprove Hood's existence.
They immediately met Robin upon their arrival, and helped him defeat the Sheriff of Nottingham and a group of robotic knights. The Doctor accessed the ship's database and discovered a wealth of information on the legend of Robin Hood. Throughout the adventure, the Doctor was convinced that Robin was actually a creation of the robots to give the people hope, but learns that he, is in fact, real. While Robin learns that he will be remembered as a legend and not a man, he is content with this fate. He also reminds the Doctor that they come from similar backgrounds and have a similar fate: men born into wealth and privilege who were so moved by the plight of the weak and oppressed that they took up the life of an adventurer to help those who can't help themselves. He also shows that like the Doctor, he doesn't consider himself a hero but believes that by pretending to be one, he can inspire others in his stead. Upon leaving, the Doctor reunited Robin with his lover, Marian. (TV: Robot of Sherwood)
