Robin Hood: Book Two 'A fast, engaging read with a likeable scoundrel in the lead role.' J.A. Ironside, The King's Knight 1225. Robin Hood is now an outlaw in Sherwood. Tales of his exploits quickly spread. All over northern England, common people sing of the Hooded Man. Robin, already in conflict with the sheriffs and barons, declares war on the church. He leads his followers in raids on foreign clergy, burning storehouses and distributing the grain to the poor. Outraged by these attacks on the church, King Henry appeals to the Vatican for aid. The Pope dispatches Odo de Sablé, a ruthless papal inquisitor, to condemn the outlaws as heretics. Civil war erupts as Robin leads the free men of Yorkshire against the inquisitor and his deadly allies, the Knights Hospitaller.
