Features
34 Robin Hood, The Last Templar (Cover Story)
Robin Hood has been a staple of cinema and television screens since the days of Douglas Fairbanks and Errol Flynn - but was he based on a historical figure? And if so, what was he doing in Sherwood Forest with his Merry Men? John Paul Davis goes back to the earliest ballads and proposes an unexpected identity for Britain's most famous man in tights.
40 Lost Graffiti of the Templars
Graffiti left by the Knights Templar in southwestern France have been virtually ignored by scholars. Jerry Glover investigates their possible origins and meanings and asks whether they could be the missing link between the Templars and the Holy Grail.
46 Where Have All the Werewolves Gone?
Did the arrival of Darwin's theory of evolution put paid to a widespread belief in half-human creatures? Perhaps not, says Brian Regal, who argues that science itself sometimes gives birth to new monsters, ready to occupy the evolutionary niche of those they have displaced.
