I see several possibilities for Robin Hood:

1. He was what the legend said he was; a tax rebel.

2. He was a common bandit who kept most of what he stole and bought off the locals so they wouldn’t turn him in.

3. He was an invention by the peasants who wished to have such a hero.

4. He was invented by the local officials to have someone to blame a “robbery” on so they could pocket some cash for themselves.
