He didn’t steal from the rich and give to the poor. He took the taxpayers’ money back from the government.

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.
