How Medieval Forest Outlaws Built Hidden Camps That Kings Could Never Find
August 4th, 1265. Simon de Montfort is killed at the Battle of Evesham. His military captain, a man named Roger Godberd, is now a wanted man. The crown declares him an outlaw — a wolf's head. Anyone can kill him on sight. Godberd disappears into Sherwood Forest. For the next seven years, he organizes raids across three counties — Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, as far south as Wiltshire. The Sheriff can't find him. The king's men can't catch him. Local knights actively shelter him. It takes until 1272 before authorities finally capture him, and even then, he's held in three different prisons over three years before his trial at the Tower of London.
