The Normans then ruled England for the next three hundred years until slowly the Normans and Anglo-Saxons became one nation: the English. There were lots of forests and wild animals in England at the time. These forests belonged to the Normans. The Saxons were not allowed to the hunt in them or to kill any animals. If the Saxons killed any of the King’s animals, the Normans hanged them or cut off a hand or an arm. Saxons had no rights and if they broke a law, the only hope for them was to leave their villages and hide in the forests where our story takes place. It is the twelfth century and Robin Hood is living in Sherwood Forest with his men. Not far away in the next town is their enemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham.
