Robin Hood: The Most Celebrated Outlaw of All Time

1 Apr 2024

---

We find ourselves in England, during the late 12th century. The country is in disarray as King Richard the Lionheart is off fighting in the Crusades, leaving his throne exposed to the devious machinations of Prince John. The younger sibling covets his brother’s power and plans to steal the English crown for himself. He is aided by the dastardly Sheriff of Nottingham, who uses unaffordable taxes in order to oppress the peasantry and fill his master’s coffers. Is there nobody who will stand up to such tyrants? Nobody who will pick up the bow and the sword and fight for the innocent people of England? Well, in fact, there is one such man. A brave outlaw who will lead a gang of rogues and outcasts against the reign of terror. A charitable bandit who will steal from the rich and give to the poor. A man known as Robin Hood! → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?
