Robin Hood is the most celebrated outlaw hero in world tradition. But why? Find out with one of the UK's best loved history professors.
Robin Hood is the most celebrated outlaw hero in world tradition, a pretty impressive achievement, seeing as heroic outlaws are found all over the planet.
Our favourite history teacher, Prof Ronald Hutton, returns to the Crick Crack Club to debunk Robin Hood; give Maid Marian the once over, and scrutinise Friar Tuck’s waistline. He’ll muse over which roads are best for a good highway mugging and ask: Why is Robin so famous? How long has his legend been in existence? What has been added to it and when? And finally – the awkward matter of – Did Robin Hood ever actually exist?
‘We need a bedrock of story and legend in order to live our lives coherently’ Alan Moore
