    Many years ago Richard The Lion Heart was the King of England.
    He was a courageous and noble man.

    2. He loved danger and was very fierce and terrible in battle.

    3.
    When Richard left on crusade his brother John asked the bishops:

    4. 'Let me rule while the king is away'.
    Prince John was allowed to do so and then he took the land from the Saxons and gave it to the Normans.

    5.
    The Saxons became homeless beggars and lived a wild life
    in the forests.

    6. Robert, Earl of Huntingdon, was one of the few Saxon nobles who had not been robbed
    of his land and money.

    7. But one day the soldiers came, killed him and all his men, and burned his house.

    8. Only his son Robin was saved. Robin took his bow and arrows and fled to the
    great forest of Sherwood .

    9.
    Robin was full of rage and thoughts of revenge.
    But he was not lonely for long, other poor men joined him.
    They soon formed a band and were known as the ' Merry Men'.

    10. Robin and his merry men spent most of their time fighting the very cruel
    Sheriff of Nottingham and Prince John until Richard came back from Palestine.
