Renegades, Rebels and Rogues Talk by Mat Morris

Join us for the next in our fascinating range of talks and seminars. This time for 'renegades, rebels and rogues' delivered by Mathew Morris.The 'good' outlaw is a major and recurring trope in medieval literature. Popularised by tales of Robin Hood, the outlaw is often portrayed as a social rebel and a romantic hero fighting against corrupt, cowardly, and greedy authorities. The reality behind the fiction was much grimmer. Join archaeologist Mathew Morris and find out more about Leicestershire's real medieval outlaws, including Roger Godberd, the Folville brothers, and the killer friar Robert of Kenilworth.Faq
