Robin Hood - Prince John
Character Detail
Prince John
"Do you love me?"
Prince John is a young, ambitious, vibrant leader who will obliterate anything that stands between himself and his quest for the throne. John demands love and respect from all his subjects and will readily test these at every opportunity. He is ruthless and deadly in pursuit of his goals. Whereas the Sheriff is always calculating his next move, Prince John is often unpredictable which makes him all the more terrifying. John is a vain and egocentric leader. He is consumed with a desire to be loved by all and recognises that as King he could demand total adoration. When he realises the people love Robin more than him he is determined to obliterate the myth.
Played by: Toby Stephens
