The story

The Sheriff of Nottingham plans to confiscate the estate of the Lord of Bawtry, a nobleman who has died on a crusade. The archbishop of Canterbury, acting as regent or viceroy on behalf of King Richard the Lionheart (who is also on a crusade), speaks against the plan and the sheriff plots to eliminate him. Robin Hood is asked to kill the archbishop for the plotters, led by the Earl of Newark and Lord Melton, but when he realises who the intended target is, Robin Hood resolves to help the archbishop instead.
