In 1270 they were still at large: ‘through outlaws, robbers, thieves and malefactors, mounted, or on foot, wandering by day and by night, in the counties of Nottingham, Leicester and Derby, so many and great homicides were done that no one with a small company could pass through most parts without being taken and killed or spoiled of his goods…’ A price was put on their heads: Henry III ordered that a sum of a hundred marks be levied from the three counties and paid to Reginald de Grey to hunt them down. They were eventually captured and Roger was sent to the castle at Bruges- probably a more terrible punishment than it sounds..

Roger Godberd was a medieval outlaw who has been suggested as a possible historical basis for the legend of Robin Hood.[1]
Life[edit]
Godberd served under Simon de Montfort, the 6th Earl of Leicester, as well as two other barons.
In 1265, Godberd was outlawed for fighting against King Henry III in the Battle of Evesham.[2] Nearly two centuries later, in about 1446, Walter Bower claimed that Robin Hood also became an outlaw as a result of this battle.
In October 1267, Godberd settled in Sherwood Forest. He lived there for four years defying the authorities. He could call upon a hundred men, but was eventually caught in 1272. Adobe audition 1.5 full indir.

Reginald de Grey was the Sheriff of Nottingham at this time. Godberd was captured in the grounds of Rufford Abbey, and from there taken to Nottingham Castle, but managed to escape. A prominent local knight named Richard Foliot helped Godberd and his fellow fugitives, and protected them from the Sheriff.

In 1270, Foliot's Castle Fenwick was besieged by royal troops under the command of Reginald de Grey, who intended to capture Godberd and his companions, but the outlaws managed to flee before the Sheriff's arrival. In 1272, Foliot was accused for his protection of Godberd, and had to surrender Fenwick. This knight resembles the figure of Richard at the Lee in the ballads of the Robin Hood story.[3]
