Херн - это боевое знамя, и еще, кощунственная мысль - Огненный столб.
Вероятно,  они верили, что он незримо присутствует. Другого объяснения не вижу, кроме, разве что,  ошибки, которую лень  было исправлять.

Here is a list of RoS bloopers that actually made it on screen:

    * Continuity errors:
          o In Robin Hood and the Sorceror during the scene where Gisburne and his men discover the "enchanted" sword, Gisburne throws away Albion, yet in the next scene where Robin is up a tree with Marion, he has Albion back!
          o In The Witch of Elsdon Gisburne is riding through the gate of Nottingham followed by his men. Marion is visible behind him on a white horse, while at that moment she should have been somewhere in Sherwood.
          o In Lord of the Trees, in one of the dancing scenes in Sherwood, Nasir is sitting under a tree with the Merries and two girls. Cut to dancing, cut back to Nasir: no girls. Cut to dancing, cut back to Nasir: the two girls are back again.
          o The ornate Silver Arrow box that appears in Herne's cave in The Enchantment was last seen in the Sheriff's possesion during the Archery Contest in Robin Hood and the Sorceror. How did it get from there to the cave???
          o When Guy of Gisburne chops the corner of the chair off during his fight with Robert of Huntingdon at the end of The Power of Albion, the other corner is already gone.
          o When the Merries are looking for Caerleon Castle in The Inheritance, Marion gets the water skin (made of animal skin) for a drink only to find it empty. When she goes to the river to fill it, the water skin has changed colour from brown to black and is made of a different type of material (a sort of waterproofed fabric).
          o In Adam Bell Much is evidently astrally projecting himself out of captivity into Sherwood to teach archery to Martin de Rainault and play the blindfold game while he's supposed to be languishing in Nottingham dungeon waiting to be traded for Martin.
          o In Adam Bell Tuck is wearing one kind of habit when he left the outlaws and after he'd rounded a tree he is suddenly wearing one of a completely different colour.
          o In Adam Bell there's trees in full leaf and then trees with bare branches; Robert with neatly trimmed hair and Robert with bouffant; Little John shaving his beard at the start of the episode and Little John with mutant beard at the end and and trying to hide it with his hand!
          o Talking of a change of seasons...
            In Robin Hood and the Sorceror, before Robin takes Marion to Kirklees the trees are all lovely and leafy but when they get there they're completely bare!
            In The Greatest Enemy (Season Two) Sherwood is still nice and green. But when a few hours later, Robert is arguing with Herne in Herne's Son (Season Three), the trees have lost most of their leaves (but when he is fighting Tuck the forest for a short time is full of green lucious vegitation). Oh well... maybe even the trees were mourning Loxley...
          o Marion's blue dress and cloak in The Betrayal must be a magical, for she takes it off to wear the little silk number that King John gives her (though you could fit Much and Robin in there with her!!!) and returns to the forest where it's magically back on her in The Pretenter. Was it full of homing pigeons sewn in to the hem so it could fly back to her or did she ask Robin to stop off and get it before they jumped out the window in the castle?
          o At the beginning of The Pretender when Arthur is running from the Duke of Gloucester's men he has no sword in his belt but when he lands in the hole it's suddenly there..
          o Arthur of Brittany's mysteriously appearing sword probably came from the same armourer as Nasir's bow in Children of Israel.
          o In Rutterkin the Merries throw their weapons clear as they jump into the river, only to find them really quickly again (as in instantly) in order to fight the soldiers.
          o In Seven Knights from Acre, how do the knights set up camp when they have only their horses and their swords with them, there is no hit of camping equipment when we first see them. And when they get to the village their banners are already up?

    * In The Betrayal both King John and Robert tell Marion that the blue dress matches her eyes -- her eyes are hazel!

    * During the fight between Robert and Gulnar's golem at the Ring of the Nine Maidens (while they were rolling around on the ground) in The Time of the Wolf one of the sword tips is bent at a right angle for one shot.

    * Nasir gives his full name twice in the series: once in The Swords of Wayland and once in The Cross of St. Ciricus. Both are similarly long, but they are not identical. In The Swords of Wayland it is "Nasir Malik Kemal Inal Ibrahim Shams Ad Dualla Wattab ibn Mahmud" and in The Cross of St. Ciricus it is "Nasir Malik Kemal Inal Shams ad-Dualla Wattab ibn Mahmud". Mark Ryan had trouble remembering lines, especially his long Arabic name - he had to have prompt boards with the name written on.

    * Michael Praed/Robin of Loxley, as he is dropping the burning bow in Robin Hood and the Sorcerer, says something that I am not sure is permissible to transmit in writing. Suffice to say it is a word of one syllable beginning with the letter F. (The story I heard was that they'd been having such trouble getting the bow to ignite that they weren't sure it would work; when it did work, it came as a bit of a surprise.)

    * Morgwyn of Ravenscar accidentally said 'Earl of Godwin' rather than 'Earl Godwin' or 'Earl of Gwydion' in The Swords of Wayland.

    * Bum sightings:
          o If you watch the fight scene in the barn at the end of The King's Fool where Marion jumps from the hay loft to the floor, the back of her dress flares up very briefly revealing her little white bum!
          o During the cliff climbing scene in The Cross of St. Ciricus, where Will Scarlet is chasing Sir Guy of Gisburne (when he leaps to a rock), we get a quick flash of Will's bare buttocks. (A few minutes later in the same scene, the same type of black undies that Gisburne was sporting appear on Will.)

    * The same voice-over is used for young Robin running to Ailric in Robin Hood and the Sorcerer as that which is used in Lord of the Tree when Matthew runs into Wickham to announce the arrival of Gisburne and the Brabancons. Both boys call 'Father, father... soldiers, soldiers!'

    * In The Power of Albion Robert is claiming that he's just been robbed by the outlaws but he is stil wearing gold broaches...

    * Modernisms creeping in:
          o Much's father in Robin Hood and the Sorceror has a gold tooth.
          o In Robin Hood and the Sorcerer when Robin and Marion are on horseback riding through the sand dunes, you can see a huge oil tanker like ship in the background.
          o Tuck mentions in The Children of Israel that his head feels like a "pumpkin." Pumpkins were not around in England in those days, not until the later half of Elizabeth I's reign. Neither were sausages, famously mentioned by Little John in his "salt, soot and sausages" line in The Swords of Wayland.
          o The bloodhounds the Sheriff uses to track the Merries down in The Greatest Enemy are completely the wrong breed for that period in history.
          o During the sword fight in Wickham at the beginning of The Greatest Enemy you can see a train going past behind the trees.
          o In The Greatest Enemy when Marion is holding Albion (after she and Much escaped from the Sheriff's soldiers and the rest of the Merries are standing around her), her nails look like they have some clear polish on them.
          o Whilst healing Robert in The Power of Albion Herne is wearing a bandaid at the base of his left thumb at one point.
          o In The Power of Albion there is white styrofoam cup on the table in front of Robert and the Sheriff.
          o In The Inheritance, as Will Scarlet is climbing over the wall of the castle, we have a lovely view of his very modern rubber-soled climbing boot.
          o There is a white car in The Sheriff of Nottingham.
          o If you look hard enough during the desert (beach) scene between Nasir and Sarak in The Sheriff of Nottingham, you can see what appears to be a modern pier in the background.
          o In the execution scene in Rutterkin, at the end where Will Scarlet is addressing King John, you can spot two or three cars drive by behind him beyond the pair of wooden gates at the back.
          o Gisburne's NASTY Knight Page has a Guy Glitches section that lists a number of historical bloopers specifically related to Guy of Gisburne.

    * In The Cross of St. Ciricus, how did Robert know that the lepers whose food Scarlet and Much had eaten were the same lepers who'd turned up at Croxton?

    * The "bees" in Alan a Dale are visibly not bees at all, but black spots on the film.

    * When King John 'invites' Marion into his bed in The Betrayal, he tears the bed curtains open - and actually tears them off completely!

    * Filming equipment appearing:
          o In The Lord of the Trees where Loxley and Betrand are fighting at the end, if you look to the floor you can see the shadow of the camera rig pass by.
          o If you look carefully, you can see that during the fight between Little John and King Richard in The King's Fool Clive Mantle is attached to a wire so John Rhys-Davies can lift him easily.
          o There is a spotlight visible in The Pretender, up in the trees underneath where Robert and the Merries are sitting discussing where to attack Queen Isabella - behind Robert's head just over his shoulder when they jump up and run past the tree.
          o In The Prentender there is a shot of Robert jumping from a tree - well, he goes up the tree outside but jumps from the tree with a safety cable into a studio shot. (Actually, it was probably Graeme Crowther, who was Jason's stunt stand in, who did the jump.)

    * In Season One the Sheriff says he'll have no Jews in Nottingham, but he's got rather a lot of them by the time of The Children of Israel.

    * When Robin enters Ravenscar Abbey to rescue his friends in The Swords of Wayland, he comes across two Hounds of Lucifer dressed as nuns who are guarding the gate and he kills them both in one stroke, as if he's having two swords. However, he is only holding the longbow given to him by the mad old man on the cliff...

    * They've just got the harvest in in The Time of the Wolf, yet Robert says: 'It was spring in Sherwood.'

    * Cromm Cruac is taking place during Samhain (Halloween, Oct 31/Nov 1, the start of winter), while the village is bedecked with May blossom and other spring-like things!

    * When Robin is pulling the Silver Arrow from Belleme's body in Robin and the Sorceror there is a popping sound.

    * At the end of Adam Bell, when the Merries rescue Martin, the Sheriff's nephew, and run off into the woods, Little John is carrying the boy through a ditch as he runs, trips and practically squashes him! The poor kid was lucky to survive.

    * In Cromm Cruac the Leabhar Laighean (the book of the King of Leinster, a book of Irish histories) is written in German, not Irish. (BTW, the book they used was just a prop with a few illuminated pages, not the actual real book.)

    * In Robin Hood and the Sorcerer when Robin cuts the rope on Marion's right hand (after he has stabbed the Baron) something flies down and hits Judi Trott right in the face, and you can see her recoil.

    * In The witch of Elsdon, when the outlaws are leaving Wickham and John brings the two young lads Martin and James, they are talking about robbing a bishop who was on his way to Leicester. Robin says there are too many of the bishop's men as there's only 7 of them, and Marion counters "8" meaning including herself. So who are the 7? There is Robin, Will, John, Much, Tuck, Nasir - that's 6. If we count Martin and James - that makes 8. With Marion, it would be either 7 or 9, but not 8. Perhaps Robin meant 7 including Marion but excluding Martin and James and Marion was too hasty assuming that Robin had counted her out. (BTW, in the novelisation Robin says "8" and Marion says "9".)

    * In the mud scene in Alan a Dale there's a pathetic twig which was thrown to break the water surface like a crossbow bolt. You also see this in The Greatest Enemy where a guard shoots at Loxley and John in Wickham: the bolt hits the wooden shelving unit with pots on and just lands on the shelf miserably.

    * If you look closely into the crowd scene when the merries go to Nottingham Castle in Alan-A-Dale, there's a recycled scene from Robin Hood and The Sorcerer. You can clearly see Will Scarlet in his first episode disguise (hat and cape) amongst the crowd, while he should in fact be disguised as a monk with Robin going in to marry the Sheriff!.

    * At the end of Lord of the Trees, when Robin is in the ale house and the mercenaries start on him, Betrand says: "The ape can talk". It is doubtful if Flemish mercenaries would have known about apes. They might have seen or heard about them on their travels, but not very likely.

    * In The Sheriff of Nottingham Nasir and Sarak fighting with samurai swords. It is possible that Saracens somehow got hold of samurai swords, but there were no clear trade agreements between the Middle East and Japan at the time. Maybe roving mercenaries had acquired them, but... (Terry Walsh was absent the day that scene was shot and was not pleased with the choice of weaponry.)
