"I can't picture someone going by the nickname of Rob in 1307"
Rob-in-the-Hood was active during the late 1100's. Granted, that's just one of the theories I've heard for Robin Hood's name. Though the oldest written records of the stories are only dated to the early 1400's.
Rob being short for Robin, I forgot about that possibility. It just seems so ODD that there'd be that kind of nickname back then. Nicknames, to me, are either a sign of familiarity and/or laziness, and I can't wrap my head around the idea of people being lazy with language back then. :)
You have a collector's edition. The book went out of print as soon as it was released, rights reverting to the author, courtesy of WOTC. Killed. Hard covers were later pulped without telling the author first and giving him a chance to obtain some of them.
must be what Amazon has in stock somewhere, because thousands were pulped. Walter only found out the stock had been destroyed when he tried to order more copies. He already knew about the reversion, of course.

Though the name Rodney? Would that seriously be in use back in 1307?

That's so crazy, but not surprising. WOTC hasn't announced any 2009 titles either.
