Marian declines Robin's offer of marriage, electing to stay and be a Saxon spy in the castle. After his escape, he scales the palace walls to thank Marian, and the two pledge their love for one another. Marian aids the Merry Men in a scheme to save Robin. Robin enters the tournament, is recognized by his unsurpassed archery skill, and is sentenced to death. Having noted Robin's fixation on Marian during the woodland banquet, the Sheriff suggests hosting an archery tournament with the Lady Marian giving out the golden arrow prize in order to entrap Robin. Robin sends the convoy back to Nottingham Castle, telling them that they have Marian's presence to thank for their lives being spared. Initially scornful, she comes to share his views when he shows her the aftermath of the Norman brutality against the Saxons. In the company are Gisbourne, the cowardly Sheriff of Nottingham, and King Richard's ward Lady Marian the men are humiliated at the subsequent woodland banquet, while Marian is given a seat of honor by Robin. Tuck joins the band and assists in capturing a company of Normans bringing a shipment of food and taxes. Robin's band encounters the rotund Friar Tuck, a renowned swordsman.
They start a guerrilla war against Gisbourne and John, sniping those who abuse their power. Dozens more men join Robin's band by swearing an oath to harm the rich only to aid the poor, to fight injustice, and to show courtesy to all oppressed. Robin and Will meet up with John the Little on a log bridge, and after a quarterstaff contest, welcome him into their ranks. Much is sent to recruit men to join their band. In response, John seizes Robin's lands and names him an outlaw. John orders Robin's execution, but he escapes and flees with Much and Will Scarlet into Sherwood Forest.
Robin confronts Prince John at Nottingham Castle during a banquet, telling the guests that he regards John's declaring himself regent in Richard's absence as treason. Sir Robin of Locksley, a Saxon noble, opposes the brutality and rescues Much the Miller's Son from being executed for poaching, earning Gisbourne's ire. The Normans exploit and oppress the Saxons. Richard's treacherous brother Prince John, aided by fellow Norman Sir Guy of Gisbourne, takes the opportunity to name himself regent of England, and increases the taxes and regulations on the Saxons under the pretense of gathering ransom for Richard. Richard, the Norman King of England, is taken captive in 1191 by Duke Leopold while returning from the Third Crusade.
