Not to take sides, but Robin Hood wasn't just stealing from the rich.

The legend: Prince John oppressively taxed the poor and abused his power in other ways (arguably with out the authority to do so). When King Richard returns he pardons Hood.

The real stories behind: Several lower aristocratic heroes (William Wallace is one you've probably heard of) in the history of the British Isles that stood up to the corrupt upper aristocracy to win freedoms for the poor or the gentry.

The real question is: Why do I know so much useless information?



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
