"Robin Hood as a right-wing militia leader and violent tax protester. I can see how that would make their heads explode."

So then I take it that the Sherriff of Nottingham is sort of the head of homeland security?

More like the combination of law enforcement and tax collection. The Sheriff (shire reeve) was the overseer of the lord's lands, and had the job of making sure the peasants did their work and the lord got his money.
