Did Robin Hood Exist?

It's a story that's been around for a good 800 years, but is there any evidence that Robin Hood actually existed?

Find out what really went on inside Sherwood Forest, how medieval outlaws lived, and why the Sheriff of Nottingham was a hated figure in the time.

Delving into the historical records with us is medieval expert and co-host of our sister podcast, Gone Medieval, Matt Lewis.

This episode was edited by Hanna Feodorov. Produced by Stuart Beckwith and McKenna Fernandez. The senior producer was Freddy Chick.
