For centuries the tales of Robin Hood and his band of Sherwood outlaws have fired the popular imagination. Fabled archer, defender of the poor, man of the people opposing tyranny and injustice, the fame of Robin Hood is universal. But did he really exist?

Phillips and Keatman have discovered remarkable new evidence that Robin Hood did exist historically, but in a different place and at a different time. The true story originated not in Nottinghamshire but in Yorkshire. Robin was not the disinherited Earl of Huntington but a peasant revolutionary from Wakefield. The original story was set not in the 1190s but in the 1320s.
