He Met with Treachery.

Robin Hood did not die in conflict oi any kind. He was advanced in life, and feeling ill, he entertained the idea that bleeding would relieve him. To this end he went to a kinswoman of his, the prioress of a nunnery, as women were skilled in surgery id those days, and more especially those of the religious communities. He was about 87 years old, and it is said that hft met with treachery, and was allowed to bleed to death.
