1. Robin Hood lives in the forest because he had been outlawed. During the period to be outlawed_ meant that all your possessions became property of the king and you lived outside of the law. So you had no entitlement to anything, you couldn't live with anyone as they would get in to trouble for harbouring an outlaw.


2. Robin Hood's principal enemy is the Sheriff of Nottingham. Robin has tricked the sheriff on many occasions and killed him at least three times.


3. Robin Hood is a champion archer. Once, he snuck into a Nottingham archery tournament. The prize for winning the contest was an arrow with a silver shaft and golden head and feathers. It was a tough contest. Some people say Robin's leading opponent shot an arrow into centre of the target. It seemed impossible to beat that shot. But bold Robin Hood took aim and shot an arrow with such uncanny precision that it split his opponent's arrow in two. Thus, Robin won the tournament and the gold and silver arrow. Some tales say Robin can split a mere branch from over 300 yards away.
