Was Robin Hood a symbol of justice? A challenge to authority? Or simply a folk hero offering a fantasy of freedom? Whether or not he truly existed, Robin Hood is one of the most enduring figures from medieval England—so beloved that by the 15th century, churchmen complained their congregations liked stories of the outlaw more than sermons. But how did Robin Hood capture the medieval imagination so powerfully?Matt Lewis is joined by Professor Stephen H. Rigby to explore how Robin Hood's legend took shape through ballads and dramas from as early as the 14th century, and how these tales evolved to reflect the social struggles, political anxieties, and popular culture of the time.MOREDefending a Castle:https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Ij54WeWRYBbcaIbRjrcVUMovie Knight (Robin Hood):https://open.spotify.com/episode/5uGVOS5S2Iz2Z23rtt3Od4Gone Medieval is presented by Matt Lewis.
