The Robin Hood and Maid Marion story always seems to exciting and a bit special, but I think in true life, it was very hard for them. Sounds like an interesting place to visit if she is around there.

Maid Marian was a later addition to the Robin Hood legend, originating, it is believed, from a french tale.
