If you want fiction that looks at the medieval #RobinHood with a critical eye, I recommend The Traitor of Sherwood Forest by @askaufman.bsky.social interview: www.boldoutlaw.com/robint/amy-k...
Highly recommend this book!
I don’t know what to tell you, man. I’m a medieval historian, and, in my field, if you don’t check your sources (and your sources’ sources) you are just asking to be taken for a ride by some bored 19th C. aristocratic English antiquarian with a penchant for inventing history.
I'm so thrilled to announce that The Traitor of Sherwood Forest is a finalist for the Star Award from the WFWA!

The irony is that I think Homer would be far more likely to be upset about people from northern europe (barbarians) being cast in the Odyssey than anything modern racists are upset about.
