Below will be found lists of records relating to historical persons with names similar or identical to those of minor characters in the Robin Hood tradition or who otherwise are reminiscent of such minor characters. Records relating to persons named Richard at the Lee or similar are listed on a separate page because that list is potentially a long one. Little John gets a page of his own; he is too important to be considered a minor character. So also do the Prioresses at Kirklees, because the data here is often undertain and requires a bit more background information.
