To be fair, the characteristic lack of “r” pronunciation came about AFTER the separation of the colonies from the crown, so Robin Hood very well may have sounded more American than what we think of as “British”

You’re absolutely right there actually. The whole elongated ‘a’ sound typically associated with ‘Queen’s English’ didn’t come about until after the 1600s, and most people probably sounded a lot closer to southern Irish than anything resembling ‘English’ today.

What accent is the main distinguishing influence between English-English and US-English? A strong Irish influence (if you look at a lot of pronunciation differences between the two, the US version tends to be closer to Irish).

So yeah, Robin Hood probably sounded closer to an American than a Southerner (but really, not a great deal like either).
