>> Robin Hood robbed from the government and the church <<
True in a way, but gravely misleading:
The regency of John and the Catholic Church were quite at odds. In fact, it’s quite possible that the legend of Robin Hood may well have been fed by a Catholic to shift the blame of England’s poor bank accounts away from Richard the Lionhearted’s wholehearted support for the war against Islamofascists and onto King John’s theivery.
While John so bitterly hated the Church’s influence that he sought out the Sultan of Morrocco to convert England to an Islamic state (!), the Church proclaimed an interdict against England (possibly explaining Friar Tuck’s role of giving mass to the people in the countryside, rather than in a church building). When John asecnded to the throne, the Church denied his validity, instead holding the position that Arthur of Brittany was the legitimate holder to the throne.
Needless to say, however, John had Rome-approved church hierarchy replaced by sycophants and thieves, to the extent that he could.

Thank you for the correction. I had not heard about Bad King John’s attempted conversion. He was so bad that even a moslem wouldn’t accept him! Ha! That is really low.
