Robin loved the life of the forest and he wanted to become one of the King's
Foresters. But he had a quarrel with the Head Forester, who had got his father's place.
During the quarrel Robin killed the Head Forester. He had to hide, because the Sheriff
of Nottingham was looking for him and had offered a large sum of money for his head.
Robin hid in Sherwood Forest, which he knew well. At that time it was called the
Greenwood. There were many yeomen already there. They were hiding from the
Norman noble, the rich tradesmen, the monks and the bishops. They were all outlaws.
They all wore green clothes, to hide better in the Greenwood. Some of them knew
Robin well. The outlaws had no chief and said to Robin: "In Nottingham there is a
contest of archers. The archer who wins will get golden arrow and will crown the
prettiest girl of the country as queen of the day. If you win the arrow, you will be our
chief'."
