One of the elements of the Robin Hood legend since the fifteenth century is that he was betrayed and killed by the Abbess of Kirklees Priory. It was described in the earliest surviving Robin Hood ballad, " A Lytell Geste of Robyn Hode", written in the early 1400's, and now in the British Library. This movie, for the first time, makes Marian the Abbess, and in a twist on the legend, she kills Robin to keep him from having to live out his life as a cripple, and not for the reward. Shooting the arrow from the Priory window and telling Little John to bury him where it falls is also part of the legend. A marker outside the Priory (first noted in historical records in 1600) reputedly marks Robin's grave to this day.
