 * Bows: The Longbow takes first place for its greater range and lethality in the hands of a trained archer such as Robin and his men. Edge: Merry Men


 * The quarterstaff is just a stick. The pike is a stick with a metal point on the end. Edge: KoTRT

Close Range: The Short sword can launch faster attacks and has the versatility of being either slashed or stabbed with, rather than the mace, which is only really useful when swung. The two short blades are essentially the same thing: knives which in combat would be useful mainly as secondary weapons or to finish off a downed enemy. Edge: Merry Men.

Swords: uhhh... Apart from signifying a king, I'm not sure what magical powers Excalibur was supposed to have, and would any of them help in this battle? In the end, it still a melee weapon of about three feet in length, like Robin's sword. Edge: Even.

Armor: Chainmail is stronger than leather. Edge: Dafty English Kiniggets.

X-Factors/Overall: The Merry Men's knowledge of the terrain, greater mobility, guerilla tactics, and superior bowmanship should enable them to overcome the KoTRT. Winner: MM.
