Episode 45: Harken Good Yeomen with Will Hoff

Into the Greenwood

How did people in the middle ages perceive the figure of Robin Hood?
Did social class or occupation affect those perceptions?
How violent were the early stories?
Where did the idea come from that Robin Hood wears green?
Historian and Robin Hood scholar Will Hoff and I sit down to discuss how Robin Hood was viewed and how he was utilized between the 14th-16th centuries.
Thanks for listening!
