An Outlaw from English folklore and a hero to the people, Robin Hood has inspired countless poems, books and movies.Robin Hood first appeared in the poem Piers Plowman, written around 1377. His band of Merry Men, Will Scarlett, Little John and Much the Miller’s son, began to appear in the 15th century.Friar Tuck first appeared in the 1450 story titled Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham. The 1475 tale Robin Hood and Guy of Gisbourne introduce Gisbourne as a friend of the Sheriff and one of Robin’s arch enemies. Maid Marian appeared in the tales by the 16th century.The legend of Robin Hood as we know it today is credited to two men in the 19th century Sir Walter Scott and Howard Pyle.It's unclear if Robin was and actual person but there are a couple of good candidates. A man called Roger Godberd and a man called Robin Hood of York. Real or not, Robin Hood is a folk hero for the ages and Hollywood always loves a folk hero.

  • MAP92: Canterbury: A Modern Day Pilgrimage

    MAP92: Canterbury: A Modern Day Pilgrimage
    Mar 10 2025
    Executive Producer:⭐Helle HagenauA day trip to Canterbury is a a popular choice for tourists visiting England and London and for good reason, it's a great city!During our European vacation in the Summer of 2024 we had a free day and decided to take a modern day pilgrimage to Canterbury and Canterbury Cathedral. We decided not to walk the Pilgrim's Way though, instead traveling by train to Canterbury. There were learning lessons for the kids (even on summer break), pubs for the adults and lots of medieval history! It was a jammed packed day but we still found time to relax and take in all the sights and sounds.We take a walk around Canterbury visiting the medieval sights and other sights. The entire family had a great time in Canterbury. It was one of the highlights of our trip.From the medieval city walls and gatehouse, to Buttermarket Square and the glorious cathedral that draws thousands of visitors ever year, Canterbury is a great day trip and if you have more time you should plan to spend 2-3 days exploring the city.Other Episodes mentioned:Episode 80: John HawkwoodEpisode 73: The Miller's TaleEpisode 1: St. Thomas BecketGrab your copy of The Canterbury Tales!
