Peter Staveley

Peter Staveley, author of "Robin Unhooded, And the Death of a King," presents a bold theory that redefines Robin Hood as an Anglo-Saxon hitman linked to the assassination of King William II. He challenges the traditional Merry Man narrative, proposing that Robin operated in the backdrop of the Norman Conquest and particularly in South Yorkshire. The discussion dives into the intriguing connections between Robin's actions and the political dynamics of the time, as well as the mysterious circumstances surrounding King Rufus's death.
