It places Robin as a small landowner in medieval England, fighting for justice against a corrupt King John. It has Robin as a champion of the lords who wanted to see King John rule more justly and gets across the idea of Robin as a popular hero.

   Why is Robin a hood?

   • The Hood part of the name probably simply comes from the fact that he wore a hood as a disguise of his identity and the Robin part is almost certainly an adaption of 'robbing'.
