ynopsis
Robin Hood is brought news that the Sheriff of Nottingham surprised Will Stutly, and though he killed two of the sheriff's men, he was captured. They set out to rescue him, confirm the story from a palmer, and arrive as he is being brought out. Will Stutly offers to fight the sheriff's men, with his bare hands, if need be, but the sheriff is resolved to hang him. Little John jumps out to cut his bonds and give him a sword. Robin's men rouse up, and the sheriff and his men flee, and Robin's men go back to Sherwood.
Adaptations
The entire tale was used by Howard Pyle in his "Merry Adventures of Robin Hood", often with no more changes than rendering the verse as prose.
