I'm not sure why some fictional medieval figures have faded into obscurity, and others have flourished. Robin Hood is definitely one who has flourished. Medievalists.net has links and also an interview about the new Robin Hood manuscript.

ReplyDeleteHas its ups and down
Sometime ups
Outnumber the downs
