The legendary hero of Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood, is a figure
who has in equal measure attracted and baffled historians for
decades. With the first mention of him coming in Old English
ballads, it was long assumed that it was almost impossible that he
ever existed at all, and that he firmly belonged in the realm of
Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner, and even Mel Brooks movies. Only a few
historians have dared to venture that Robin of Sherwood was, in
fact, a living and breathing human being. Historian John Paul
Davis, while undertaking research on the Knights Templar, has
uncovered new evidence on the folk hero that suggests that his ties
to that order were much closer than previously supposed. Sticking
closely to historical sources as well as the ballads, Davis has
produced a new portrait of this intriguing figure with colorful and
unique insights into the era that he lived in, reckoned by Davis to
be at least 100 years closer to our own than previously supposed.
Lavishly illustrated throughout, "Robin Hood: The Unknown Templar"
will be of keen interest to anyone who has been even merely charmed
by his legend; potentially explosive reading for those with their
own theories of who Robin Hood really was.
