$Renegades, Rebels and Rogues \u2013 Outlaws in Medieval Leicestershire by Mathew Morris$

The ‘good’ outlaw is a major and recurring trope in medieval literature.
Popularised by tales of Robin Hood, the outlaw is often portrayed as a social rebel and a romantic hero fighting against corrupt, cowardly, and greedy authorities.
The reality behind the fiction was much grimmer.
Join archaeologist Mathew Morris and find out more about Leicestershire’s real medieval outlaws, including Roger Godberd, the Folville brothers, and the killer friar Robert of Kenilworth.
