Medieval Outlaws by Thomas H Ohlgren
Billy the Kid, Jesse James and Al Capone - these are criminals who robbed and killed, yet they were considered good outlaws, who were celebrated in sensational newspapers, newsreels and dime novels of the day, and later in film and television, for their daring, courage, loyalty and even chivalry. While some medieval outlaws, such as Robin Hood and William Wallace, remain folk heroes to this day, others are much less familiar - Earl Godwin, Eustache the Monk, Fouke Fitz Waryn, An Bow-Bender, Gamelyn and William of Cloudesley. All were driven to lives of crime as victims of political intrigue or legal injustice. They committed capital crimes punishable by death, but, paradoxically, were loved, encouraged and supported by their communities. These tales are of interest to the general reader and student alike.| SKU | Unavailable |
