Why Everything You Know about Robin Hood Is Wrong: Featuring a pirate monk, a French maid, and a surprising number of morris dancers

Karen Murdarasi, MA 2002

What if everything you ever knew about Robin Hood was wrong?

  • He never met Maid Marian.
  • He wasn’t a nobleman.
  • He never went on Crusade.
  • And he absolutely did not rob from the rich to give to the poor.

For the first time, the information that medieval historians have about Robin Hood is made available to a popular audience.

'Why Everything You Know about Robin Hood Is Wrong' is an illuminating, entertaining and really quite sarcastic trip through what we actually do know about one of England’s most famous heroes.

"The 90 informative pages are jam-packed with revealing facts and comparisons about the many discrepancies in the popular story and it’s all brightly written in a succinct and engaging style."
- Bob White, Chairman of the World Wide Robin Hood Society
