Maid Marian Was The Pretty Young

More than 800 years ago, a coach and horses were passing through Sherwood Forest. The passengers inside the carriage were a rich and important family, and they were guarded by four soldiers riding on horseback, two out in front and two behind. Even so, when they came to the part of the forest known as Greenwood, the father became nervous, because he knew that it was thick with thieves and bandits. His wife noticed that his finger was tapping on his knee, and she put her hand on top of his to calm his nerves. His beautiful daughter, whose name was Marian, closed her eyes and managed to fall asleep to the rocking of the carriage.
“If the bandits attack,” thought the father, “I will give up my gold. But I only pray that they do not touch a hair on the head of my dear Marian!”
Then, what he feared happened. At first, the family did not even realise that they were being attacked. The robbers jumped down from the trees above, and pulled the soldiers off their horses and onto the ground. It was all so skillfully planned that the guards were overpowered in less than a minute. The coach driver tried to whip up the horses to make them fly forward – and that alerted the family – but it was useless, for a tree lay across the road and he had to pull them up sharp with a jolt. They were caught in a trap.
The father expected to hear the age old cry of highwaymen “Stand and deliver” – which meant that they were to get out of the carriage and hand over their valuables. Instead, there was a polite tap on the door of the carriage, and a voice said, “Dear Sir, be so kind as to step outside.”
“Ah, they mock me,” he said to his wife.
As his foot set down on the road, he noticed that his knee was wobbling. He found himself facing a young man dressed in green. Behind him stood six men, dressed in the same colour, and armed with swords and longbows.
“Here,” said the father, “Take this purse of gold. Only I beg you, do not touch my wife or daughter. I swear by St. Mary and all that is sacred that they have no jewels or valuables about their persons.”
In fact, this was not true. His wife was at that moment busy stuffing her jewels down the front of her dress.
"Good Gracious!" said the leader of the bandits. “What do you take me for? I would do no harm to a lady!”
At that moment, Maid Marian jumped down out of the carriage.
"What are you doing?" cried the father. "Get back dear. This instant."
But Maid Marian was a high-spirited young lady with a fiery temper. She went up to the bandit leader and slapped him around the face.
“Take that you coward,” she said. “Give me a sword and I’ll show you a fight.”
The father was horrified, for he had no idea that his daughter practiced fencing with her brothers, and was more skilled with a sword than any of them. She was no mean shot with a longbow and arrow too – but he had no inkling of that either.
The robber touched the side of his face where she had swiped him. “I would that it were a kiss,” he said, "But your hand stings sweetly all the same. Now my beautiful Amazon, spare your temper. In return for the gold your father has just given me – and for which I am truly grateful – my men shall ride behind your carriage to the edge of the forest and ensure that no criminals attack you – for I’m sorry to say that this forest is full of the worst sort of people."
Maid Marian slapped him again round the face, and then got back into the carriage with hot tears in her eyes. But the bandits were true to their word, and gave the family their protection to the edge of the forest. Before they parted, the leader of the robbers once more tapped on the door of the carriage. He wished his victims safe journey to their home.
“And my lady,” he said to Maid Marian, “I so desire to have the pleasure of setting eyes on you once again. Pray, do tell me your name.”
At first she did not want to reply, but then she said softly, “Marian.”
The robber said, “Well dear Marian. This evening in Greenwood you have won the heart of Robin Hood,” and with that he jumped on his horse and sped away.
“The cheek of it!” said the mother. But the father was almost relieved, for often bandits did far more harm to travellers than they had received.
Two months went past, and Marian’s father and mother decided that it was time for her to wed. They began talks with a rich lord whose eldest son was good looking, but extremely arrogant. When they told Marian that she must marry him, she was furious.
“Do I not have any say in the matter?” she said.
“My dear,” said her father, “You are young and do not know what is best for you.”
But Marian’s character was not the sort that could be forced to do anything unless she wanted it herself. She resolved to run away. She knew that many of the local boys from poor families had gone to Sherwood Forest to become outlaws. Some were robbers, but others lived by hunting the king’s deer, which was against the law. She cut her own hair, dressed herself as a page boy, armed herself with sword and a longbow, and rode off on the fastest horse in her father’s stable.
Nobody knew better than her that it was dangerous to ride through the forest, especially alone, but she did not care because she was so angry at thought of marrying a man she did not love, or even like.
“If I meet robbers, I shall fight them,” she said to herself, "and if they kill me, my life will be little loss to me, for I am so unhappy in my heart."
She rode deep into the woods. Eventually, she found a clearing in which there stood an old log cabin. It was half fallen down, but she thought that she would mend it and live there. She would survive by hunting and fishing. As she was hungry, she sat down to eat the bread and cheese that she had brought with her. While she was doing this, she heard footsteps, and she jumped to her feet, her sword in hand. A man appeared, dressed in green, and she recognised him right away as Robin Hood who had attacked her family.
“Hold back,” she called out, pointing her sword at him, “for if you try to rob me it will cost you your life.”
Robin was interested to find this spirited lad with no sign of any bristle on his chin.
“Young boy,” he said, “Put down your sword, for I mean you know harm. I am just an innocent forester, and I came here to mend my cabin.”
“No you’re not,” said Marian, “You’re Robin Hood, the notorious outlaw. Take one step closer, and I’ll run you through.”
For in truth, what made Marian so angry was that he had not recognised her. “So much for his sweet words about winning his heart,” she said to himself. “It was all meaningless hot air. I’ll show him.”
Seeing the sword painting dangerously towards him, Robin drew his own sword, meaning to use it to push Marian’s aside, but she saw what was happening and thrust forward. He only just managed to deflect her sword from cutting his ear.
And then they fought. They clashed, they thrust, they parried, they twirled. Marian drew blood from Robin’s cheek, and that inflamed his anger. He fought back with all his strength, but she was nimble footed and skilled; even so, she took a cut above her eye. Now she was blinded by her own blood, and she was cutting wildly about her with her sword. Robin managed to get behind her and wrestle her to the ground.
“Gently, gently,” he was saying. “Calm yourself now. Time to stop fighting and be friends. I could use a boy like you in my band of followers.”
He allowed Marian to turn round and now he was looking into her face.
“You faithless man,” she said, “You do not know me.”
But he did, and he kissed her on the lips.
And that’s the story of how Maid Marian came to join Robin Hood and his men in Sherwood Forest.

this story was very borrrrrrrrrrrring
I loved it
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t normally leap in to defend our stories, but this is one of our favourites – A lot happens in the 12 minutes and it builds up to an exciting fight at the end between two people who love each other really.
Thou dost not write for the current generation. Kids these days will find them boring of course. What do they know of romance? a sword to them is just a plaything. Chivalry, isn’t that a drink ?
Thanks Verily – interesting points – but I wonder if you are right. I don’t really believe that human nature changes that much across the generations. Swords, romance, chivalry are still the stuff of stories.
that’s why it is on a childrens site lel
Well, WE like these stories. Our Mom read the stories to us before, and then Dad got us the first season of Robin Hood on DVD – we were so sad when we finished all the episodes. Too bad some people just don’t get it. By the way – we are 12, 10, and 6 years old, and 2 boys and 2 girls.
Thanks UsKids – really glad you like the Robin Hood stories. And it’s useful to know your ages and the mix of boys and girls. Thank you !
We’re having trouble downloading the robin hood stories and now also the new Gladys story. Had no problems until now. Any idea why this is happening?
your stories are very nice. I love them very much.of course, i am a foreigner and it is very suitable for me. thanks alot.

I think this story is very good it’s very interesting and useful. The two things I like were Robin Hood and Maid Marian.

This was a good story. Can you make more stories though because I am sone reading every one. Thanks. You’re awesome1
This is a beautiful love story i love it!
Bertie,your story is very romantic,but did you know it?The essence of this story lies chiefly in the first half,that is to say,what’s going on until Marian slapped Robin the second time is very exciting,but after that point,it’s better to turn mellow and give the readers some space to conceive.
i like the story but it would be better if they said that miad marian knew that he recognised her.
I like the story a lot and I like Robin Hood
I am a but a lad, and Storynory has cheered me and means so much to me that there are no words to express my feelings other that THANK YOU! For I have been struck with Parkinson’s. As I, a lad of 55 years,can tell you -befriend those who do good. You to may have a surprise one day.
Dear Mr. C. Many thanks for your comment. Lads of 55 are more than welcome at Storynory. We are very sorry to hear about your health, and if our stories can help bring you some cheer then at least that is something good. Thanks again writing !

My child loved this story and so did I, it was nicely told. It was also good that Marian was such a strong character of her own.
On a different note however, I am wondering if some of the other people leaving comments, should clean their keyboards, as their letter ‘O’ seems to keep getting stuck.
Thank you! I highly enjoyed this audio. The narrator have done a marvelous job which give this audio charm and entertainment.

Thank you for your comments, this chapter shows Maid Marion and Robin hood are a good pair, as they help each other out with their strengths and weakness’
Robin Hood is fair but proud and Maid Marion is brave but stubborn.
Im sure the legends make good plays with all the characters, Little John and the evil Sherif of Nottingham.

Thank you for your comment,
Robin Hood who steals from the rich and gives to the Poor is always on the run with his band of Merry Men, which makes the book so good
Maid Marion is both feisty and head strong, and proves to be a good match for Robin Hood

You’re welcome. Robin Hood and Maid Marion is a well loved legend set in the North of England where Sherwood Forest lies and is where Robin Hood caries out his deeds. He gives to the poor with the help of Maid Marion and his band of Merry Men including Brother John.
Sherwood forest is also a rare wood that actually does exist in England too.
I love that story it really gave me a picture. It was a happy ending which i like. You have a go and see what its like.I like STORYNORY.
Hello
Thank you and for listening to the Robin Hood tales. Robin Hood is lucky to have Maid Marrion help him in the woods with his band of men when he steals from the rich to give to the poor.
Thank you Natasha, Now i can practice my story telling 🙂
