Truth. He also helped bring about the Magna Carta.

  Because he was in service to Richard or is there something I don't know?

    Most believe he was a real person, probably Robert of Huntington. King John was draining the royal coffers on losing wars (sound familiar), and treating the people badly. The barons forced King John into signing the Magna Carta, and Robert of Huntington would have been on of these. There are several other candidates for the real Robin Hood.

Damn political propaganda legends, almost as bad as public education history books.

  are you referring to how the left co-opted the Robin Hood legend?

I like "invaded their country and enslaved them" a lot. The visual is first rate.

    although, if truth be told, I have a REAL craving for tiaras. Looking at them is fun, but the real fun is looking at people who are looking at you while you're wearing one. Sometimes they ask why? is it your birthday? I usually say no, it's because it's Wednesday [or whatever].
    another part of my job to bring whimsy to the world sometimes.
