  • Summary

  • While we all know the tale of the Yeoman archer who defied Prince John, did he actually exist? From Sherwood Forest to Robin Hood’s Bay, the North of England is full of claims to his story but with so many places claiming Robin as their own, how can we be sure who the real ‘man in tights’ was?

    The earliest mentions appear in 1377 but the details don’t always match the legend. Did he rob the rich to give to the poor? Maybe not! Was he King Richard’s contemporary? That may not be the case.

    Listen to our latest episode and let us know what you think. Was Robin a real crusading archer? Or simply a story told one night around a campfire?
