Folkore isn't history and we covered everything from pre-history, then Romans, Saxons, Vikings etc in primary school..... and as I'm Scottish, we covered a lot of ground in Scottish history - but only factual, not folklore. Then we tended to concentrate more on political history, the euro-revolutions and 20th century history in high school.

But folklore is a massive cultural part of any nations history.

It's certainly part of literary culture but not academic history. Robin Hood would possibly be appropriate as part of an English literature lesson, but not history.

Unlikely.

"In the 2001 Census, Nottingham had a population of 266,988, of whom 132,530 were male, 134,458 were female."
