A lot of versions/interpretations center Robin as being a supporter of King Richard the Lionheart. In this framework: robbing from the rich and giving to the poor was not entirely pure altruism and rejection of nobility, but more a rejection/rebellion of Prince John's specific authority and moral leadership.
Just watched Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) in which Kevin Costner returns from the Gulf War with Morgan Freeman, his Arab translator, and exacts revenge on the tax-loving, gun-confiscating Alan Rickman who tried to take over while he (Costner) was away
Lol, you should check out Robin Hood (2018) with Taron Edgerton. They actually went the complete flipside on the politics...which would be good but man oh man are they on the nose.

Eitherway: its pretty fucking pedantic.
