Robin of Loxley, better known as Robin Hood, has long been a major character in English folklore,
second only perhaps to King Arthur. Unlike the Once and Future King, Robin existed outside the law, an equivalent to the antiheroes of modern pop culture. He was the leader of the Merry Men, a gang of outlaws who lived in the peaceful Sherwood Forest. Robin and his men would steal from rich lords and clergy, but kept very little of their gains for themselves, instead giving it to the poorer folk. Along with his friends Little John, Friar Tuck, and Will Scarlet, Robin foiled the Sheriff of Nottingham's efforts to bring him to justice, and wooed the fair Maid Marian.
Robin prepares his aim with:
Born in 1028 in Normandy, King William I of England, also known as William the Conqueror, is known for his conquest
of England and eventual rise to power. William had convinced himself that the crown of England was for the taking, and that he could successfully conquer England in a short period of time. As he strengthened Normandy's defenses and rallied 7,000 troops, in 1066 he finally conquered England in only a few months. As a result, William was the first Normand King of England and soon began for fortify his regime by building dozens of castles and spreading his royal army around the land. William's reign was so powerful it reshaped England as a whole during the Middle Ages. After a fatal horse riding injury when he was 59, William divided his succession between his three sons, Robert, William Rufus, and Henry. His youngest son, Henry, later became the famous King Henry I of England.
William becamed king with:
My Edges:
Short:Edge Robin:While William is better swordsman,his sword is shorter and lighter compared to Robin's sword.
Mid:Edge William:A stick vs a axe?No contest.
Long:Edge Robin:He is famous archer and his bow has more range than William's crossbow,plus his bow is more accurate.
Special:Edge William:A improvised tool vs one of the most dangerous,yet underrated daggers of all time.The long seax has range,versatility and it's true weapon(Yeah I didn't found anything for Robin in special,so I decided to use,something he carried to survive).
X-Factors:
Archery:Robin 100,William 75:While the crossbow was important weapon for William,which he killed king Harold in the eye,Robin was a legendary archer and was said that nobody could be his equal.
Swordsmanship:Robin 80,William 95:While Robin is decent with the sword,William is a Duke and a King later,so he had been trained to be good swordsman
Armor:Robin 40,William 70:The chainmail hauberk and kite shield are better combo than leather armor and buckler,also William has a helmet,Robin doesn't.
Tactics:Robin 78,William 93:Some say William is a lucky boy,but I disagree his tactic made him king,he is skilled enough to trick his opponenets into trap,Robin could have made good tactics but he is thief,his tactic is kill silent and be stealthy,aim and fire with bow get in close if needed.

Expert's Opinion[]
It was no doubt one of the closest battle ever I had in Season 2.While William had better mid range weapon,training and superior tactics,Robin was both good in long and short range category,also William's crossbow might have been more effective in urban scenario,but Robin's mobility,archery and the fact that he had faced similar opponents before helped him to win.
