An article published in the Journal of Medieval History has been highlighted in the media for its unique and compelling perspective into the actions and moralities of Robin Hood. As well as unearthing evidence that places Robin Hood in the reign of Edward I, Dr. Julian Luxford’s   article “contains a uniquely negative assessment of the outlaw, and provides rare evidence for monastic attitudes towards him”. The   BBC, the   Yorkshire Post and US-based   media as well as many more have featured this article, which you can access from the above link or via   www.elsevier.com/locate/jmedhist.

 Congratulations to Dr. Luxford for this fascinating article!
