Robin Prince of Sherwood :
The Story Pt II "Robin Hood" is Born
After months of training, Robin turns his band of outlaws into a formidable fighting force, and they easily overwhelm the Sheriff's soldiers transporting a years worth of taxes through the forest. Robin exasperates the Sheriff further by distributing the money amongst the poor.
When Robin is identified as the young Loxley, the Sheriff realises that he holds the trump card that will bring his tormentor in from from his forest fortress.
At Morgana's suggestion, in order to lure Robin out in the open, the Sheriff announces that he is to marry Marion. Once the gallant Prince of Sherwood is caught, he will hang the Loxleys together, father and son.
Robin is distressed when he reads the announcement of the marriage but Little John and Will Scarlet suggest that if Robin can marry her first, any marriage to the Sheriff would be null and void, and so, with Friar Tuck to officiate Robin and Little John head off for Marion's prison window to perform the ceremony. But the Sheriff is ready and they are captured. With the capture of Friar Tuck he believes that, as well as the 'hooded man', he also has the 'man of the cloth', leaving him free from Morgana's fateful omen.
Robin, the Earl of Loxley and Tuck are brought out and made ready for their public hanging. Suddenly a priest steps forward and demands with resounding authority that the prisoners be released, in the name of the King.As the Sheriff orders his arrest the stranger throws back his cowl revealing himself to be King Richard. The prisoners are released and, refusing to surrender the Sheriff dies at Robin's sword.
The King knights Robin, and finally reunited, Robin and Marion are married with great ceremony.The End.
