THANK you! Robin Hood’s nemesis was the Sheriff, not the “greedy” merchant selling his goods.

Never read the original Robin Hood stories, but the last three films (and therefore the primary source of cultural info) portrayed only one character who could be identified as a merchany: Friar Tuck, a card-carrying "Merry Man" who sold either alcoholic beverages or holy relics.

In the Disney cartoon, he was depicted as a badger, clearly a capitalist of the animal kingdom.
