Robert Hode, son of a forester in Earl Warren's park, lives a
comfortable life in Wakefield in the north of England where his
mother is active in the Craft, a religion focusing on healing,
friendships and exotic ceremonies. But, at the age of seven,
Robert's pleasant life changes when he is humiliated after a
beating by his cruel schoolmaster. Afraid to return to school, he
plays truant, exploring the town and forests and learning about the
miserable and sometimes fascinating lives of his neighbors. As a
teenager working with his father in the forest, Robert becomes
known for his philandering ways but his behavior changes when, on a
visit to wealthy relatives, he meets Matilda. Determined to marry
this powerful, beautiful woman, Robert builds a fine house in the
center of Wakefield. Matilda accepts his proposal but their happy
lives are disrupted when the Earl of Lancaster seizes all of
Warren's lands and Robert is summoned to fight for the Earl of
Lancaster against the army of King Edward II. Robert flees the
disastrous battle and searches Barnsdale forest for a mysterious
hermit he once met as a child. Matilda and others from nearby
conquered towns join him in the forest. A skilled archer, Robert
becomes the leader of a notorious band of outlaws, calling himself
Robin Hood and his bride, Maid Marion. With Marion's extensive
knowledge of the Craft, they conduct erotic celebrations where
Robin serves as High Priest and Marion as High Priestess. Intrigued
by the legends of the infamous outlaw who robs the rich and helps
the poor, the weak and effeminate King Edward pays a surprise visit
to the forest and invites Robin and Marion to serve him in the
Tower of London. But life in London is not what they expected.
