Robin Hood (TRIH ep 192)
1193 · Resource
Hosts Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook explore the origins, evolution and cultural afterlife of the Robin Hood legend. They begin with early 15th-century ballads such as Robin Hood and the Monk, noting motifs — Sherwood, archery, the Sheriff, devotion to the Virgin — and the violent, trickster aspects lost in later, child-friendly retellings.
