The Hood and the King

Who do you think would win in a battle? Robin Hood or King Arthur- Guenevere or Maid Marian- and Little John or Lancelot. I got the idea the romantic at heart thread. I personally would have to go for the Hood, simply b/c he's my childhood hero. Without that book, I would literally be a completely different person.

King arthur since he has that scabbard or belt that makes him unwoundable. Lancelot since hes the finest fighter in the kingdom. Why do they call him little john?

Oh, come on. all those big castles, long swords.. You know they're compensating for something. Anyway, Hood's got that Long Bow. Pick Arthur off from afar.

Rodin Hood. Arthur was an ineffectual fighter with a pet wizard and a big sword (compensating for something?). Robin learned his stuff on the mean streets and that final move in his duel with Gisborne was pure poetry.

I SO agree... Arthur could kick the Hood's arse any day. I like the Hood (I loved a lot of the movies they made about him... Kevin Costner = *swoon*), and I think he could be a formidable enemy, but I'll have to say Arthur. Sorry.
