England, Anno Domini 1190
It is the darkest period of the English Middle Ages. King Richard the Lionheart is on a Crusade in the Holy Land, fighting to liberate Jerusalem from the heathens. The nobles he has left behind, led by Prince John Lackland, rule over the simple peasants with an iron hand, and this pure force of arms forces them to bend to authority. Only one man takes up the struggle against the oppressors, supported by a small band of brave and loyal followers. His name: Robin Hood.
After a long absence, Robin of Locksley returns to England from his adventures in the Crusades. However he feels little joy upon returning home, since the country has changed since his departure. The peasants are being brutally oppressed by the Norman nobility. If anyone resists, they end up on the gallows or lose their land. Not even the Saxon nobility is spared: While Robin was fighting in the Holy Land, Lord Locksley Robin s father died, and since Robin too was declared dead, his father s lands have become the property of the scheming Sheriff of Nottingham.
And so begins the Legend of Sherwood. Of Robin Hood, the outlaw loyal to the king, who stole from the rich to give to the poor.
