Role Reversal

Robin Hood wasn’t really an altruist. He was an ally of King Richard who was absent (fighting in the crusades) during Robin’s adventures. Prince John, Robin Hood’s nemesis, was constantly scheming to usurp Richard’s throne. Thus Robin Hood and his band of outlaws should better be thought of as partisans fighting a guerrilla war against a usurper.

Did the myth of Robin Hood actually start like a hundred years later and was retractively pushed back to King Richard's day?

In some cases the problem is understanding how cartoons work.

Robin Hood might not have even existed as a singular person. Rather, the name could’ve been a common alias shared by many sudden outlaws.

I mean a sack full of gold coins is a ludicrous thing to be carrying around for all but maybe the king in that time. Like that was probably that nobles entire net worth except for his land and clothes. A sack full of gold coins. That's a fuckload of gold.

Ah yes currency back then is the same as today. He definitely had USD bills in the sack.

Gold was rarer back then than it is today. It would have been worth a lot more inflation corrected.

The bag is just a metaphor, the problem is that it was given all to a single person instead of multiple. Since the point is to stop the accumulation of wealth.

No noble holds all their wealth in liquid currency. Most of their wealth comes from their land holdings, etc.

Many petty nobles back then were vassals and often heavily in debt to their liege. Even with their holdings they basically had a negative net worth.

You're right, it does feel good to downvote something.
