3. Robin Hood - The Hooded Man and the Greenwood
Through the sun dappled leaves of Sherwood Forest, a tale of Britains most infamous outlaw is explored, a tale that has been told, and re-told, for nearly a thousand years. This episode of Mythic Albion looks at the man, the myth, the legend, Robin Hood. Anti hero or villain. Protector of the downtrodden or nothing more than common thief? We look at this man and the Ballad Legends, throughout the ages. But was he even a man, was Robin Hood a moniker or simply a tale rethreaded again and again, for centuries.
