In the past, some English and several German scholars suggested the origin of Robin Hood has its beginnings with the Teutonic Knights. There were also speculations Robin Hood was a patron saint. In 1835, the German philologist Jacob Grimm wrote that Robin Hood resembled Knecht Ruprecht.

Wodan was the Norse variant of Odin.

Robin Hood is Odin. Got it.
