Robin Hood is an outlaw. That means he lives outside the protection of the law. But Robin is a law unto himself. Robin is no common criminal. As the famous saying goes, he robs from the rich and gives to the poor. The poor have little to fear from Robin Hood. His enemies are the rich and corrupt, especially the Sheriff of Nottingham and the bad apples in the Church like the Abbot of St. Mary's and the Bishop of Hereford.. H- k0 z+ F6 N; y

Although Robin is an outlaw, a thief and a rebel, he is usually a strong supporter of the rightful king, especially when that king is Richard the Lionheart. But Robin will fight Richard's corrupt brother, the usurper Prince (and later King) John. |
