Robin of Sherwood Cast

After Warrior’s dressed in wolfskins slaughter the peaceful monks at Grimstone Abbey, Robin’s old adversary Gulnar uses the place as a headquarters to worship the Norse god Fenris the Destroyer, believing that the whole country will follow Fenris during the Time of the Wolf - a famine believed to be imminent. Meanwhile, King John is raising an army against the Welsh, and under orders from his representative, the tyrannical William Brewer, the Sheriff of Nottingham and Gisburne remove the entire grain harvest from Wickham and two more villages in the shire. Robin and his band are unwilling to stand by and see their friends starve, and so begin preparations to ready the Wickham villagers to steal back the grain. But then the women and children are kidnapped…
