Fitzroy Richard Somerset, 4th Baron Raglan FRAI (10 June 1885 – 14 September 1964) was a British soldier, author, and amateur anthropologist.

His military career included working as an aide-de-camp to the governor of Hong Kong, service in the Egyptian army from 1913 to 1919, district commissioner in Sudan and as a political officer in Palestine and Transjordan.

[4] With the death of his father in 1921, he assumed the title 4th Baron Raglan and, after retiring from the army, returned to his ancestral home, Cefntilla Court near Usk in Monmouthshire.

In an article in the journal Folklore in 1939, she was the first to apply the name "Green Man" to the sculptures of foliate heads found in churches across much of Europe.

[6] It is often wrongly said that she invented the term,[7] a belief that reading her own account, or consulting the OED, disproves; it was used since at least the 16th century for costumed figures in festivities, and later for the name of pubs.

[8] Not only an active member of many societies and interested in administrative duties in national institutions, Lord Raglan also published a number of books and papers on archaeology and anthropology.

In the book's most influential chapter, he outlines 22 common traits of god-heroes which he calls the "mythic hero archetype".

He dissects Oedipus, Theseus, Romulus, Heracles, Perseus, Jason, Bellerophon, Pelops, Asclepius, Dionysus, Apollo, Zeus, Joseph, Moses, Elijah, Watu Gunung, Nyikang, Sigurd (or Siegfried), Llew Llawgyffes, Arthur, and Robin Hood.
