How to Conduct a Highway Robbery in the 16th Century

March 26
48 mins

Episode Description

In this episode, we explore the fascinating story of the infamous highwaymen who for hundreds of years plagued Europe’s roads, preying on unsuspecting travellers, often with deadly consequences. But, what’s the real story of this often romanticised profession, who were the best known among that group, and how did they come to write their names in the folklore of British history? We discuss all that and more in our maiden episode!
