The legendary tales of Robin Hood and King Arthur have captivated the world for over 800 years. But few realize these icons started as humble dissenters challenging tyranny. Outlaws & Outcasts explores the obscure origins of two myths that gave voice to rebellious spirits fighting injustice in societies stacked against the poor.
In bleak medieval eras of unchecked greed, stories emerged of rebels robbing corrupt clergy, or a lost king uniting the people against invaders. Though likely fictional, Robin Hood and Arthur became folk heroes expressing public yearning for autonomy and fair rule in eras otherwise offering little recourse against exploitation. This accessible history analyzes how the legends reflected class conflicts still recognizable today.
