Factual error: In the beginning of the film, the opening text states that it is the turn of the 12th century. However, the first scene of the movie says that the year is 1199 A.D., which is the turn of the 13th century.

More mistakes in Robin Hood
Robin Longstride: If you thought it was hard getting wages from him when he was alive, try getting wages from a dead king.
Trivia: William Hurt as William Marshal repeats a line that he first spoke in "The Big Chill" with exactly the same inflection. In "The Big Chill" he was referring to his departed friend Alex, and in "Robin Hood" he was referring to King Richard. The line is: "Look what happened to him."
Question: An interesting wind-up lute-type musical instrument is played at one point. Would such an instrument have existed at that time?

Answer: By "Wind-up lute", I assume you mean the hurdy-gurdy. Certainly, instruments fitting the description of the hurdy-gurdy were around in the time when Robin Hood was set.
