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.
“Then, another German philologist, Adal Kuhn, gave the hero a completely German pedigree by identifying him as Wodan.” 2
Wodan was the Norse variant of Odin.
Robin Hood is Odin. Got it.
