Robin Hood
The story begins with Robin Hood’s Saxon grandfather, Sir George Gamwell. Gamwell lived near a Norman lord. This lord wanted to take Gamwell’s house and his lands. The two men fought, and the Norman lord killed Gamwell’s two sons. Gamwell’s wife also died. But Sir George also had a young daughter, Joanna.
‘I have no sons,’ Gamwell said to Joanna. ‘So I will teach you to fight with a sword, and with a bow and arrow.’
