Robin of Sherwood Logo 'Herne's Son'
(Part 1)
by Richard Carpenter
Robin of Sherwood Cast

Robin is dead, but while the mourning outlaws fire flaming arrows into the lake, they are joined by the mysterious hooded figure that saved Tuck, Little John, Nasir and Scarlet from the Sheriff. After the outlaw band breaks up, Marion is pardoned by the King and returns to Leaford. Robert of Huntingdon is called by Herne the Hunter to become his new son, but chooses to reject the offer. However, he cannot escape his destiny: at Huntingdon castle, Robert’s father prepares to entertain in order to arrange a political alliance for the King; among the guests are the Sheriff of Nottingham, Abbot Hugo, Guy of Gisburne, the Welsh Marcher Lord Owen of Clun and his followers, Sir Richard of Leaford and his daughter, Marion…
