Thereafter, Robin ventured to Lincoln only to discover that the town is seething with the Sheriff's guard. After returning from the Holy Land, he found out that his father had died of old age (altough it is alleged by several characters in the game that Sheriff might have had a part in his death), and had his lands confiscated after proclaiming Robin as deceased during the Crusade.
At the start of the Third Crusade, Robin joined under the banner of king Richard. In his youth, he was often found in the company of Maid Marian, a Norman girl of noble birth from Nottingham. Lord Godwin, was a good friend of his father's and his godfather, and under his guidance he learned the use of sword and bow. Robin was born to the Lord Locksley, sometime in the High Middle Ages, probably in the area around Sherwood forest, Nottingham or Yorkshire, but during his youth, he frequented in Lord Godwin's estate in Lincoln Caste, Lincolnshire. His story is loosely based on the ballads and stories of Robin Hood, and his birthplace, Locksley, is based on Walter Scott's fictional interpretation, even though, incidentally, there is a village in South Yorkshire called Loxley, to where most of early ballads point to the birth of the legend.
Robin Hood is the legendary outlaw during the Middle Ages, leader of the Merry Men of Sherwood, son of the Lord Locksley and the titular character of the game.
