A Gest of Robyn Hode (15)

Publication Date: March 21, 2018

Chapter: English Literature During The Middle Ages

Gilbert of the White Hand is a Merry Man, but a very obscure one, appearing only in "Gest" prior to Victorian revivals of the Robin Hood mythos. He is presented as Robin's equal in archery, but why he's there - and why he has a single white hand - is a mystery lost to time.
