King Richard the Lion-Hearted lies dying in France. With his last breath, he bequeaths his kingdom to his brother, Prince John and his nephew, Prince Arthur. From this legacy comes a terrible war, as two men clash for what can only belong to the right to rule Britain. It is also these words that seal the destiny of Richard's young champion, Robert of Locksley. Robert, the handsome son of a respected earl, had long fought the tyranny of Prince John - a man as weak as he is cruel. Now that power has shifted even more firmly into John's hands, and Robert has no choice but to fight as an outlaw...as Robin Hood.
