Chapter 5: Robin meets Maid Marian
When Robin Hood was a boy, his best friends were Marian Fitzwater and her brother, Marke. Robin played with them and taught them to use the bow and arrow. He also taught them to fight with the sword.
Robin loved only Maid① Marian, and she loved only him.
One spring day Marian's father, Lord Robert Fitzwater of Malaset, said to her, "Marian, you are a beautiful maid. Soon you must marry. There is a very rich noble man who wants to marry you."
"What is his name?" Marian asked.
"His name is Sir Guy of Gisbourne, a good friend of the Sheriff of Nottingham."
When Marian heard this, she was very unhappy. This was terrible! She did not want to marry Sir Guy of Gisbourne. She loved Robin Hood and wanted to marry him.
She decided to run away to join Robin Hood. She disguised herself as a knight. Then she took her horse and went to Sherwood Forest.
Robin Hood was in the forest. He was coming from Nottingham, and was disguised as a beggar②. They met in the forest. It was evening and it was almost dark. When Robin saw the knight, he asked, "What are you doing in the forest?"
"What are you doing here, beggar man?" answered the knight.
They did not recognise each other.
"This is outlaw country. Go back! You can't stay here. We don't know you." Robin said.
"I cannot go back! I am not afraid of outlaws," answered the knight, taking out a sword. "I am ready to fight you!"
And so the fight began. Both were experts with the sword. But Robin fell to the ground.
The knight said, "Now, take me to your leader. Take me to Robin Hood!" She took off③ her helmet and Robin was very surprised. It was his dear Marian! Robin took off his beggar clothes. Marian recognised Robin. She, too, was very surprised! Then, they kissed.
There was great happiness in Sherwood Forest that evening. Marian and Robin were finally together. Friar Tuck married④ them after a few days. There was a big wedding celebration in the forest.
Maid Marian was now part of Sherwood Forest. She was gentle and kind to all. Everyone loved her.
