2. WHOM WILL MAID MARION CHOOSE?
The story is not unique. A woman has to choose between love or security.
Romantics would agree that the answer should be easy, but sometimes things
become complicated, and not so clear. Maid Marion has a problem. Her father
has fallen ill and the Sheriff of Nottingham has informed her that the taxes on
their estate have not been paid. Knowing that Robin Hood might be able to help,
Marion has sent word to the forest, but time is not on her side. When the Sheriff
arrived to foreclose on their estate, he was deeply moved by Marion’s beauty (and
perhaps the size of the estate), and has offered to pay her back taxes- only if she
agrees to marry him immediately. Marion has heard the stories about the Sheriff,
and knows that the marriage would be loveless, but without the tax monies, her
father and all of their servants will be cast out into the wilderness without a roof
over their heads. Robin Hood was unable to arrive in time, and Marion had to
quickly choose to save her family.
It was a terribly difficult decision, but Marion agreed to the marriage. The Sheriff
left immediately with Marion in search of a church and priest to finalize the mar-
riage with all due haste. However, along the way, they passed through a particu-
larly ancient section of the forest, and magic left over from an earlier age sensed
her plight, and felt that perhaps Maid Marion deserved another chance. The
magic brought her here, to Crossford, a town steeped in old magic. The presence
of the Fey can be felt here, and the residents have come to accept that sometimes
strangers may arrive within their borders that require assistance, and the good
people of Crossford are always willing to help!
Join the citizens of Crossford, as Robin Hood, Maid Marion, and the Sheriff of
Nottingham attempt to settle their differences. Watch as knights joust for glory
and honor; peasants and gentry alike battle in a live chess match- winner takes all;
and the town comes together to help another unfortunate soul caught at a cross-
roads to make the right decision. It is the Autumnal Equinox and the Duke of
Northumberland has made his yearly pilgrimage to join and celebrate the harvest.
Eat the glorious food and shop the stalls of the merchants in town. Play games,
sing & listen to the music, and immerse yourself in the world of the Renaissance!
