Synopsis

edit

In this amended version of Robin Hood, Marianne (in English Maid Marian) decided to end her relationship with Robin Hood. Fifteen years later, they both are leaders of their own groups, in two separated parts of the Sherwood forest. Marianne lives with Adrien, the boy she had with Robin, but Robin doesn't know about him. Adrien, now 15, falls in love with the daughter of Shérif de Nottingham (in English Sheriff of Nottingham, the avowed enemy of Robin) and she comes to lives with him in the forest. After another attack from the sheriff's army, Marianne requests Robin's help to save her group and their houses. When the sheriff realises that Adrien is Robin's son, he decides to imprison the young boy, despite the feelings his daughter has towards him. Robin is captured too, but is freed by his friends. He then launches a rescue operation with the help of his followers and notably Petit Jean (Little John) and Frère Tuck (Friar Tuck) played by Nyco Lilliu. They win the final battle, but Little John is killed. They mourn him before King Richard Lionheart comes back to England and knights Robin. [2]
