The Legend: Robin Hood (2010) Trivia Quiz

Answer: Archer

Robin Hood's story began with a siege on a castle in France. Richard the Lionheart, the King of England, was returning to England from Palestine in the Third Crusade. Richard was killed by a French archer, and the archer cried out in French, "I killed the king! Look!" Some of his men attempted to save his life, and gave him water. Richard died, and the English retreated. We know that Robin Hood was an archer because he shot and fired with his bow and arrow numerous times in the battle.

Answer: Sir Godfrey

Sir Godfrey was an English traitor, who had French ancestry. His men killed the King's Guard traveling to England. France's king had ordered Godfrey to kill Richard, who should have been with the King's Guard. He questioned a knight, Sir Robert Loxley, who was barely breathing. Robert told him that Richard was already dead. Robin Hood's men ambushed the Frenchmen, and all but Godfrey were killed. Robin Hood then promised Robert that he would take Robert's sword to his father. Robert's father lived in Nottingham.

Answer: Imposed taxes

Robin informed Prince John that King Richard had died. Prince John was crowned and became King John. John said Robin should get a reward, then said that because Robin had told him who he was and that he was from Nottingham, Robin's father owed taxes to the king. Sir Godfrey was then sent to the north, by John, to collect new taxes imposed on everyone.

Answer: Blindness

The elder Loxley offered Robin the chance to stay with him and Lady Marion, Robert Loxley's widow. The elder Loxley said that he was blind, and once asked Lady Marion, "Is he handsome?" Lady Marion said yes. Lady Marion originally did not like Robin, but eventually did, because Robin recovered taxed grain.

Answer: failure

Robin Hood spoke of his journeys from England to Palestine and back. He said to King John that a charter of rights for the people would guarantee the loyalty and love of his subjects. King John swore on his mother's life that a charter would be written and signed. Robin's quote, "In tyranny, lies only failure," meant that King John would fail at his position as king if he was a tyrant.

Answer: Stabbed in the back by Loxley's sword

The elder Loxley began to fight Godfrey and lost, eventually, because he was blind. The elder Loxley swung his sword around many times and struck the ground. Godfrey struck his sword on the elder Loxley's back and stabbed him.

Answer: Neck

Godfrey was about to kill Lady Marion in the water, but Robin Hood knocked Godfrey down from his horse and saved Lady Marion. Godfrey was riding away from the battle on the beach on his horse, then Robin killed Godfrey with an arrow through the neck.

Answer: declare

King John was about to sign the charter, then he burned it. The people who were witnessing this did not approve. King John declared, "For inciting to cause unrest, I declare him, to be an outlaw!" In the final scene, a messenger of the king, was putting the outlaw decree on a tree.

The messenger asked for a hammer to nail the message on the tree. Robin Hood fired from where no one could see him, straight on to the piece of paper. Everyone around the messenger laughed. At the movie's completion, "And so the legend begins," was displayed.
