Robin Hood: Book Three
'Pilling has created a wonderful reimagining of Robin Hood's legend.' Jemahl Evans, Becket: Warrior
1242
King Henry of England is at war with his rival, the King of France. The armies are poised to do battle at Taillebourg.
Robin Hood is now serving in the English army as a captain of archers. Forced to leave England, he has spent fourteen years as a mercenary in France.
The English are defeated in a bloody battle. After helping the king to escape, Robin is pardoned and allowed to travel home. He returns to find that he has become a legend. Tales of the Hooded Man have inspired other men to take up the fight against tyranny.
Most of Robin's followers are dead or scattered. Those who survive are leading quiet lives. Driven by his faith and a desire to strike one last blow against injustice, Robin attempts to rally them. He arranges a final stand in Sherwood, to light the fire of a rebellion that will drive the Norman oppressors into the sea.
England will arise.
David Pilling is the author of fictional and non-fictional works, including Leader of Battles, Longsword, The White Hawk, Rebellion Against Henry III: The Disinherited Montfortians 1265-74, and many more.
'A swift medieval adventure that will transport the reader to fastnesses of the great royal forests as if the king's men are giving chase.' J.A. Ironside
'Full of action and historical detail. A legend, re-invented and re-invigorated. Highly recommended.' Richard Foreman
