About This Event

Archaeologist Mathew Morris presents a talk at The Guildhall in Leicester exploring Leicestershire's real medieval outlaws. The session contrasts the romanticised literary trope of the outlaw with the grim historical reality of figures such as Roger Godberd, the Folville brothers, and Robert of Kenilworth.

The event will explore the true stories of medieval outlaws who lived in Leicestershire, delving into historical records to provide a deeper understanding of these figures. This will involve uncovering the complex realities behind the popular 'good' outlaw trope, providing insights into their lives that go beyond romanticized versions.

Archaeologist Mathew Morris will be presenting the event, sharing his knowledge of Leicestershire's medieval outlaws, including Roger Godberd, the Folville brothers, and the killer friar Robert of Kenilworth.

The event will take place on October 27, 2026, at The Guildhall in Leicester. Admission details are available on the event website.
