Robin Hood
was a young man who lived during the reign of the Norman king Richard I called
the Lion-Hearted. Robin was the son of the Earl of Huntingdon.
While Robin
Hood was at the Crusades John the Lackland King Richard’s brother, killed many
Saxon nobles and took their lands.
Among these
nobles there was also the Earl of Huntingdon.
When Robin
returned to England, King John’s soldiers tried to imprison him, but he
succeeded in hiding in Sherwood Forest where he was compelled to live as an outlaw.
In the long
run many rebels joined Robin who became the chief of a powerful band of
outlaws.
Robin and
his friends robbed the rich to help the poor. That’s why they were very popular
and were always helped to escape from the King’s soldiers.
