Prince John is the younger brother of King Richard, who has spent egregious amounts of time trying to usurp his brother's throne. Though he is referenced often as a villainous offscreen character, masterminding all the schemes to kill Richard, throughout the series, he does not appear in person until he arrives in Nottingham in the episode "Do You Love Me?".

History[]

Series 3[]

In the episode, "Do You Love Me?", Prince John ends up visiting Nottingham himself. He has Guy of Gisborne and Vaisey try to kill each other to prove their loyalty towards him and orders a church in Locksley Village to be burnt down when he hears how the villagers worked against him with Robin Hood. Later on in the episode, the outlaws with the help of Isabella stage an act where the Prince will heal an incurable disease he has been in search of because his father did so before and the Prince believes it proves who the true king should be. However, the gang reveal themselves.

In the episode, "Too Hot to Handle", Prince John is speaking with Gisborne about the plan he has for the people to love him by cutting off their water supply and supplying water for them in barrels instead to prove how gracious of a leader he is. However, during this he catches Isabella speaking with Robin outside and ends up ordering Gisborne to put an end to them. Gisborne ends up trapping them underground in the castle with water rising up to drown them. However, they end up breaking free and Isabella switches sides, apologizing for trusting in Robin. Gisborne ends up turning against the prince, causing the Prince to make him an outlaw.

In the episode, "The King is Dead, Long Live the King...", As a last attempt to try and take the throne, Prince John orders a wax maker to make a replica of his brother, King Richard, and has Richard's most trusted advisor come to Nottingham with news that the King had died during the crusades. This gives Prince John the ability to put on a coronation to which the Outlaws and Gisborne put a stop to in front of everyone. At the end of the episode, he ends up leaving and declares Isabella the new Sheriff of Nottingham.

Trivia[]

  • Prince John seems to be affectionate toward Isabella. Both of the real Prince John's wives were called Isabella (though the first marriage was annulled).
