Robin Hood tells the story of the titular character of English folklore. A heroic outlaw as well as a skilled archer and swordsman, Hood would go on to build a reputation that centered around "to rob from the rich and give to the poor," during a time when the Sheriff of Nottingham and Prince John were instituting high taxes on common folk. Hood is joined by his cohorts, called the Merry Men, which include Little John, Will Scarlet and Friar Tuck.
