As Robin Hood(although a legend) was meant to have lived during the reigns of these Kings:~

Richard I (September 8, 1157 – April 6, 1199)

John (24 December 1167 – 19 October 1216)

He would have been very old to have transformed himself into Robin Hood!
Sir William Wallace (c. 1272-76 – 23 August 1305)

Of course you may be meaning was Wallace a sort of Scottish Robin Hood?only a Scot could really comment on that.

unlikely - Robin Hood is a very English figure, and Wallace is not.

How many Scots had heard of William Wallace before the film Braveheart ?.

I think almost every school child in Scotland would know about Wallace - the real one not the Mel Gibson fantasy! Wallace was a genuine hero and a true patriot who never attempted to claim the Scottish crown.

"how many Scots had heard of Wallace before Braveheart?"

Is that a serious question? His story is taught in every school across the country, he and Robert Bruce are 2 of the most famous figureheads in our country's history.

Your moronic question is like asking how many English people had heard of King Henry the 8th before the tv series The Tudors?
