 Robin agrees, and when back in the forest the sheriff is ambushed by Robin's men.They take his money and his clothes, force him to spend a night in the forest (which he hates) and they force him to swear oaths that he would no longer hunt Robin and his Outlaw Band.Because of hospitality of the sheriff's wife in Nottingham, Robin lets him go free, telling him he must give his wife a white Palfrey.
