    Didn’t the myth of Robin Hood actually start like a hundred years later and was retractively pushed back to King Richard’s day?

    Also should point out that greedy Prince John was actually collecting taxes to pay for Richard’s absurd Ransom because the idiot got himself captured.

      Robin Hood might not have even existed as a singular person. Rather, the name could’ve been a common alias shared by many different outlaws.
