French Normans have supposedly stolen gold for King Richard, and left for France. Robin Hood vows to "never set foot on English soil" until he's recovered the gold. In fact, an English baron stole the gold. To keep his vow of never stepping on English soil, Robin boats, swings in trees, rides a horse and stag, rolls in a barrel, and even runs on a bolt of cloth to reach the castle and recover the gold.
