Description

Robin Hood - the legendary outlaw who stole from the rich to give to the poor. From the medieval era to the present day, we have sung about him, listened to tales, watched him and his Merry Men in plays, on TV and even on the silver screen. We really are fascinated with this heroic archer. But what do we really know about the man and the origins of the legend? Experienced author and historian Jim Bradbury goes in search of the truth, looking at the historical sources, the real-life candidates, his appearances in popular culture over the centuries, and his continuing popularity.

Author Biography:

Jim Bradbury's published books are mainly on English, French and military history of the medieval period, including The Medieval Archer 'a delight to read' - Steven Runciman), The Medieval Siege ('a very enjoyable book' - the Ricardian), Stephen and Matilda ('carefully researched' - Times Educational Supplement), The Battle of Hastings ('a stimulating and radical re-appraisal' - Ian Dawson), Medieval Warfare (by 'a respected expert in his field' - David Ditchburn), Philip Augustus ('the first major study in English this century' i.e. twentieth - David Bates), and most recently The Capetians.
