- Robin Hood probably became an outlaw by killing a deer on a wager. Then he had slain one of the king’s foresters who threatened his life. A price was set on Robin’s head, and he went into hiding. Soon there gathered about him other bold men who had been outlawed or deprived of their inheritances. Some of them hated the hard rule of the barons.
