Meanwhile, The story of Robin Hooda’s death is told in the same way in existing stories since history. As he grew older and became very sich, he moved to Kirklees Priory near Huddersfield with his Little John to be treated by his aunt, the Prioress, but Sir Roger de Doncaster persuaded her to murder her nephew, and the Prioress slowly bled Robin to death. He sounded his horn with the last of his power, and Little John came to his rescue, but it was too late at that time.

Little John took Robin’s bow in his hand and led him to a window, through which Robin managed to fling one arrow. Robin requested that Little John bury him where the arrow landed, which he did.
