Prioress

n.

the superior of a group of nuns

Why did Robin Hood thank the old woman?

That depends on what story you are reading (or movie you are referring to), but in Robin Hood the Outlaw by Dumas, Robin thanks an old woman for helping him and then later for offering to be his servant.


When did Robin Hood die and where?

The Death of Robin HoodOne of the famous stories of Robin's death goes like this:It was nearly evening when Robin Hood and Little John (one of Robin's merry men) were returning from a hunt when Robin started to feel sick and fever quickly took over. Robin then asked Little John to take him to the Kirklees Priory where his cousin the prioress worked.When Robin Hood arrived at the Priory Gatehouse he was taken up stairs to a private room. The prioress then opened up one of Robins veins and left him alone in till the next evening. On the way out prioress locked the door no one knows why she did it may of been because she cared for him or for some other reason. When Robin Hood was in his weak state Sir Roger of Donkestere (who may have been in love prioress) climbed through the window and stabbed Robin Hood in the arm. Robin Hood then swang his sword and beheaded Roger in one swing. Robin now dying from Exanguinating Haemorrhage grabbed his horn and blew 3 times for Little John who was waiting in the forest for news of his master. John under stood this and barged through the doors of the Gatehouse panicking because he could tell that Robin Hood was in a weak state because of how weak he blew in the horn. When he reached Robins room he saw that Robin was dying and said that he would burn down the Gatehouse and kill all the nuns that were in the gatehouse at the same time. Robin told John not to because he had never harmed a woman in his life. Robin asked John to pass him his bow and that he would shoot it out the window and were ever it landed John would need to bury Robin. After Robin shoot the arrow that travelled 594 meters Robin died. John then left to complete his master's last command. :(

Allegedly, Robin Hood is buried in Yorkshire, England, at Kirkless Priory. Whether or not the body within the grave attributed to him is actually that of Robin Hood (indeed, whether or not there is even a body in the grave), is presently anyone's guess.

Did robin hood have any familly?

Robin Hood must have had a family. In the ballad "The Death of Robin Hood" Robin is treated for an illness by his cousin, who is prioress of the convent at Kirklees. Robin's illness is not named; in my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles I assume that it was the Black Death, which killed hundreds of people in England in 1348.

Did Robin Hood die in brighouse woods?

The earliest source of information about how and where Robin Hood died is a ballad called "The Death of Robin Hood." I follow it pretty closely in my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles. In the ballad Robin is ill and is taken by Little John to the convent at Kirklees, where his cousin, who is skilled in medicine, is prioress. It is there that he dies. The ballad does not indicate the nature of the illness he is being treated for; in my novel I assume it was the Black Death, a plague which killed hundreds of people in England in 1348.
