There’s no evidence that Robin Hood targeted only tax payments because there was little distinction at that time between the wealth of the landowners wrung from their tenants and the cut they forwarded on to the Crown as its piece of the action.

All the evidence is that Robin Hood and his gang robbed anyone with money who fell into their hands.

There is also no evidence that Mr. Hood “gave to the poor”
though he was said to have loaned some poor night some cash.

Further, there is no evidence that Mr. Hood had any political goals. The idea that some have posted that he was
a terrorist is absurd as it is not at all supported by any record.

Ol Robin was referred to as seditious in early references in the sense that all criminals are considered seditious.
