Robin Hood
The legendary hero of Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood, is a figure who has in equal measure attracted and baffled historians for decades. With the first mention of him coming in Olde English ballads, it was long assumed that it was almost impossible that he ever existed at all. Historian John Paul Davis, while undertaking research on the Knights Templars, has uncovered new evidence on the folk hero that suggests that his ties to that order were much closer than previously supposed. Sticking closely to historical sources rather than the ballads, Davis has produced a new portrait of this intriguing figure.
