English Learning for Curious Minds, Episode 245: The True Story of Robin Hood [1]

Episode 245: The True Story of Robin Hood [1]

Hello, hello hello, and welcome to English Learning for Curious Minds, by Leonardo English.

The show where you can listen to fascinating stories, and learn weird and

wonderful things about the world at the same time as improving your English.

I'm Alastair Budge, and today we are going to be talking about Robin Hood, the legendary outlaw.

Now, I'm sure that you're all familiar with the story of Robin Hood and his Merry Men from

the numerous films, books and TV series based on this heroic outlaw's feats or achievements.

Instead, what I'd like to focus on today is the True Story of Robin Hood.

In today's episode we are going to go on a time-travelling journey back to 14th

century England where we'll unravel the traditional tale of Robin Hood against

a backdrop of rebellion, corruption, war and even a suspected royal muder.

There's plenty to discover, so it's time to learn about The True Story of Robin Hood.

The first question you might be asking yourself is whether

there is, indeed, any truth to the story of Robin Hood.

Was there actually a man called Robin Hood?

Did he steal from the rich and give to the poor?

Was there a terrible Sheriff of Nottingham?

And, ultimately, is there any truth to this story?

These are some excellent questions, to which historians don't always agree on the answer.

But they are very interesting to explore, so that is what we are going to do in this episode.

As with any mystery, we have to consider the evidence available to us if

we're going to discover whether or not there really was a real Robin Hood.

Today, the character that we call Robin Hood is known as Robin of Locksley.

In modern versions, our noble born hero has been dispossessed of his property, his property

has been taken from him, while fighting abroad in the religious wars known as the Crusades.

He becomes an outlaw, living in Sherwood Forest with his Merry Men, rescuing

his love interest Maid Marian from unwanted suitors, the men who want to marry

her and, perhaps most famously, stealing from the rich to give to the poor.

This familiar version of Robin Hood is actually very far removed, very

different to the earliest surviving text that we have about Robin Hood, a

text which dates back to the early 16th century called: A Gest of Robyn Hode.

A gest, by the way, means an adventurous story.

This first record of Robin Hood provides us with plenty of

clues about the true story of Robin Hood, so let's dive into it.

The original version features a low-born freeman who, in typical fashion

for a hero of his time, commits plenty of gory, or bloody, crimes.

This Robin Hood steals from the rich, the highly unpopular and greedy

abbot at St Mary's Abbey, although he doesn't really give to the poor.

He does, however, adhere to a certain code of ethics, of moral

duty, in contrast to the money-grabbing clergymen, or monks, in St.

Mary's Abbey.

While Robin Hood is presented as a low-born outlaw, a criminal,

living in Barnsdale Forest, he is also shown to have superior morals.

What's more, Robin Hood's actions in the text have a restorative effect - he

rights wrongs through a sort of rough justice which highlights even further

the hypocritical, or the false, insincere, nature of the ruling classes.

In the Gest, in the original story, Robin Hood's men bring a knight to dine with him.

When the knight is asked to pay for his meal, he tells the truth to Robin Hood - he

has no money apart from the low amount of 10 shillings, a shilling being a

historical coin equivalent to twelve pence, a tiny and inadequate amount of money.

The knight goes on to tell Robin Hood of his misfortunes and how

the abbot is about to seize lands his lands for a debt of £400 that must be repaid to the abbey before sunset, before the end of the day.

Robin Hood asks if the knight has any friends who can help him with this debt.

No, the knight replies.

Before, when he was rich he had plenty of friends; now that he is poor, he has none.

Robin Hood then asks if he has anyone who could

Provide collateral, as security that he will repay the debt.

No, the knight replies again.

There is nobody who can provide him with any collateral,

except for the Virgin Mary who has never let him down.

Robin Hood is deeply devoted to the Virgin Mary and upon hearing these words

he immediately agrees to lend the knight the £400 that he so desperately needs.

£400, by the way, would be today's equivalent of hundreds of thousands of Euros.

As the day begins to draw to a close, the greedy abbot is waiting for the

deadline to pass so that he can take the knight's land and make a huge profit.

However, thanks to Robin Hood, the knight arrives and repays the money just in time.

Later on in the story when Robin Hood is awaiting his repayment from the knight,

a monk passes through Barnsdale Forest and is stopped by Robin Hood's men.

He behaves discourteously, or impolitely, towards Robin Hood and lies about how much money he has.

Robin Hood finds out that the monk comes from St Mary's Abbey and that he has £800

on him - Robin Hood takes this money from the monk, effectively doubling his money.

After all, the Virgin Mary was his collateral, so, to Robin Hood's

eyes, the monk from St Mary's had brought him his repayment.

When the knight finally arrives to repay his debt, Robin Hood refuses to accept the

payment, saying that he has already been reimbursed, or repaid, by the monk from St Mary's.

What's more, Robin Hood orders his men to pay the knight £400.

All in all, Robin Hood does not gain or lose any money in the story, rather he rights the

wrongs by rewarding the truthful knight and taking from the greedy, disrespectful monks.

The Gest also tells of how one of Robin Hood's men,

Little John, ends up serving the Sheriff of Nottingham.

When Little John is poorly treated by the sheriff's staff, he

retaliates, he reacts, and steals the sheriff's silverware and his money.

Little John gives the money and silverware to Robin Hood, then he tricks

the sheriff into an ambush, where Robin Hood and his men are lying in wait.

After a night sleeping rough in the forest, Robin Hood allows the sheriff to leave

provided that he swears never to harm Robin Hood or his men again, which he does.

Later in the story, the Sheriff of Nottingham breaks his

oath, his promise, not to harm Robin Hood and his men.

The sheriff organises an archery competition in an attempt to capture Robin Hood.

However, Robin Hood manages to escape and seeks refuge, he

seeks shelter, with the same knight that he previously helped.

This knight is captured by the sheriff, before being rescued by Robin Hood.

With news of an uprising spreading and Robin Hood's increasing notoriety, or

infamy, being famous for the wrong reasons, the King ends up travelling to the area.

Upon meeting Robin Hood in disguise, the King grants mercy to Robin

Hood, he pardons him, as well as his followers and the knight.

Robin Hood enters the King's service as an archer and joins the Royal Court.

A year later, homesick Robin Hood returns to visit Barnsdale

Forest, only to be killed by the Prioress of Kirklees.

The prioress is, in fact, a relative of Robin Hood.

She gruesomely lets him slowly bleed to death when he seeks medical treatment at her priory.

Now, this is a very basic summary of the earliest surviving text about Robin Hood, but

we can already identify plenty of clues that can help us to narrow down our search for

the real Robin Hood, and we can come up with a fairly precise historical time and place.

These details will allow us to ascertain, or to make sure, to verify, whether or

not some of the most popular real life Robin Hood suspects are indeed plausible.

As you may have noticed earlier, the location we are

looking for is not Sherwood Forest, but Barnsdale Forest.

For reference, Barnsdale is an area in South and West Yorkshire, not so far from Nottingham.

While the original text is clear about the location,

coming up with a date requires a bit of detective work.

Let's put together the pieces of the puzzle.

Robin Hood, even in today's version, is a highly skilled archer and much is

made of his archery skills, they are admired, and highly desirable qualities.

So, we are looking for a time when archery really started

to take off, when it was a sought-after skill in Britain.

To narrow things down further, let's add in an important detail from the Gest.

We are also told that the King is in the area.

So, if we can find any evidence of a King visiting near to the

Barnsdale area, we'll have a good idea of when the story is set.

On the 16th March 1322, some 60 km north of Barnsdale, there was a large

battle called the Battle of Boroughbridge, where a group of rebellious barons,

headed by a man called Thomas of Lancaster, fought against King Edward II.

King Edward II of England had a short, disastrous reign that ended in his forced abdication

in 1327, when he was made to renounce or give up his throne in favour of his son, Edward III.

He was subsequently held prisoner before

dying in uncertain circumstances at Berkeley Castle later on that year, in 1327.

Anyway, back to Boroughbridge, back to the battle of Boroughbridge,

Thomas of Lancaster lost the battle, in part due to heavy archery

fire from the King's longbowmen, as well as being greatly outnumbered.

He was taken to Pontefract Castle, a nearby castle, where he was executed.

I know that's a lot of names and details for you, but it is important to our quest for the truth.

The reason I shared this with you is that all of this proves, or suggests, that the King

was in the area in 1322 with his archers, which lends credibility to the story that the

real Robin Hood was actually pardoned, he was forgiven, and then recruited by the King.

With a clear date and precise location backed up by historical

records, we are a step closer to finding the real Robin Hood.

Out of all of the possible suggestions that have been made by historians

as to who the real Robin Hood could be, only one person really fits in

with both the earliest surviving text and the matching historical data.

And that person is… a man named Robert Hood of Wakefield.

Obviously, we cannot be 100% certain, but in terms of making a plausible guess, Robert

Hood of Wakefield is a prime suspect, he is one of the best matches that we have.

Robin was a common diminutive name for Robert.

And if you are wondering about Wakefield, well that also fits

in perfectly, being located just north west of Barnsdale.

So, if there is a good chance of Robin Hood having been a real person, Robert Hood of Wakefield is

as close as we're going to get to finding him, short of discovering any new miraculous evidence.

That said, while Robert Hood may be our best bet, that is our most

probable choice, there are a couple of other contenders who also have some

interesting details with similarities to the Gest or the historical data.

A man called Robert Hod of York features in legal records dating back to 1226.

While this is a lot earlier than the time frame we were originally considering,

there is written evidence that this Robert Hod became an outlaw after

his possessions were confiscated to pay back money that he owed to St.

As you may have noticed earlier, the location we are

looking for is not Sherwood Forest, but Barnsdale Forest.

For reference, Barnsdale is an area in South and West Yorkshire, not so far from Nottingham. Referans olarak, Barnsdale Güney ve Batı Yorkshire'da, Nottingham'dan çok uzak olmayan bir bölgedir.

While the original text is clear about the location, 虽然原文已经明确地点,

coming up with a date requires a bit of detective work. Для того чтобы придумать дату, нужно немного поработать детективом. 确定一个日期需要做一些侦探工作。

To narrow things down further, let's add in an important detail from the Gest. Um die Dinge weiter einzugrenzen, fügen wir ein wichtiges Detail aus dem Gest hinzu.

We are also told that the King is in the area.

So, if we can find any evidence of a King visiting near to the

Barnsdale area, we'll have a good idea of when the story is set. У районі Барнсдейла ми матимемо уявлення про те, де розгортається історія.

On the 16th March 1322, some 60 km north of Barnsdale, there was a large

battle called the Battle of Boroughbridge, where a group of rebellious barons, |||||||||||barones rebeldes |||||||||||barões die Schlacht von Boroughbridge, in der eine Gruppe rebellischer Barone, Boroughbridge Savaşı adı verilen savaşta, bir grup asi baron, битва під назвою "Битва при Боробриджі", де група повсталих баронів розбила групу повсталих баронів,

headed by a man called Thomas of Lancaster, fought against King Edward II. dirigido||||||||||||

in 1327, when he was made to renounce or give up his throne in favour of his son, Edward III.

He was subsequently held prisoner before ||||prisionero| In der Folge wurde er gefangen gehalten その後、囚われの身となり、不明なまま死亡した。 Daha sonra, daha önce esir tutulmuştur. 他随后被囚禁,然后在不确定的情况下死去

dying in uncertain circumstances at Berkeley Castle later on that year, in 1327.

Anyway, back to Boroughbridge, back to the battle of Boroughbridge,

Thomas of Lancaster lost the battle, in part due to heavy archery Thomas von Lancaster verlor die Schlacht, unter anderem wegen schwerer Bogenschüsse Томас Ланкастерский проиграл битву, отчасти из-за сильной стрельбы из лука. Lancasterli Thomas, kısmen ağır okçuluk nedeniyle savaşı kaybetti

With a clear date and precise location backed up by historical З чіткою датою і точним місцем розташування, підкріпленим історичними

records, we are a step closer to finding the real Robin Hood.

Out of all of the possible suggestions that have been made by historians Von all den möglichen Vorschlägen, die von Historikern gemacht wurden Tarihçiler tarafından yapılan tüm olası öneriler arasından

as to who the real Robin Hood could be, only one person really fits in

with both the earliest surviving text and the matching historical data. com o texto sobrevivente mais antigo e os dados históricos correspondentes.

And that person is… a man named Robert Hood of Wakefield.

Obviously, we cannot be 100% certain, but in terms of making a plausible guess, Robert

Hood of Wakefield is a prime suspect, he is one of the best matches that we have. Hood of Wakefield é o principal suspeito, ele é uma das melhores partidas que temos. Wakefield'lı Hood baş şüpheli, elimizdeki en iyi eşleşmelerden biri. 韦克菲尔德的胡德是主要嫌疑人,他是我们拥有的最好的比赛之一。

in perfectly, being located just north west of Barnsdale.

So, if there is a good chance of Robin Hood having been a real person, Robert Hood of Wakefield is

as close as we're going to get to finding him, short of discovering any new miraculous evidence. so nah wie möglich an ihn heran, es sei denn, wir entdecken neue wundersame Beweise. так близко, как только мы сможем его найти, если не обнаружим новых чудесных доказательств.

That said, while Robert Hood may be our best bet, that is our most Das heißt, dass Robert Hood zwar unsere beste Wahl sein mag, aber das ist unsere größte とはいえ、ロバート・フッドが最良の策かもしれませんが、それは私たちの最
