Richard the Lion-hearted Richard I of England I hope you realize that it is the Armour that is black not the man himself.
Prince John is the primary antagnoist in the Robin Hood stories. He is the youngest brother to King Richard I, the Lion-Hearted and became king in his own right in 1199. The story is that John overthrew Richard's justicar and claimed the throne as his own in 1191, thinking his brother would never return from the Crusades. It was during that time that he began taxing the people and persecuting anyone who was still loyal to Richard. This gave rise to Robin Hood and his band. The real story isn't far off, though John was never actually siuccessful in claiming the thron until Richard died on his own in 1199.
The story first appears in 1225 as an oral poem told and retold over and over. So, the first setting is the 1200-1300's. The story evolves through time to fit the history and events that it is set in. We find Robin Hood fighting for King Richard and the dates/times change. The modern Robin Hood is usually set in or around 1300. So, the answer to your question it depends on who is telling the tale.
The story of Robin Hood is very old and has nothing to do with men in tights, or Merrie old England. It is part of the ancient myth of the Divine Child - and so is the story of Jesus, of course - which dates it back to the stone age and beyond.
Robin Hood was a supporter of Richard Lion Heart.

Richard the Lion-Hearted, Richard I of England. It is widely thought that Robin served in the third crusade, which Richard led.
The Robin Hood stories are partly legend and there is some debate about whether Robin Hood is one person or an amalgamation of several historical characters. It is assumed that the King Richard in the Robin hood stories is "Richard Coeur de Leon" or Richard the Lionheart and his family name was Plantagenet. His younger brother John, succeeded him upon his death.
Robin Hood was thought to be a supporter of Richard the Lion Heart, who was driven to be an outlaw by the deeds of Richard's brother John. However, there are no records of this, it's not even certain if such a person as Robin Hood was real. Whether or not, he is a myth or some folklore, it's still a good story.
I think most people would associate Robin Hood with Richard the Lion Hearted.
Richard I
The legend has it that the outlaw, Robin Hood, was a Saxon Earl. during the reign of King Richard the Lion-heart. Richard spent most of his reign abroad on crusades in Palestine, leaving his brother Prince John in charge of Britain. On Richards death, John became King.
