http://www.robinhood.org.uk/bandit.htmOutlaws have long being worshipped by people. That is in popular culture in movies, not in real life. If someone was robbing people in sherwood forest today, most of us would not be impressed. However when we see Errol Flynn or Kevin Costner doing it, we think it's great. Robin Hood is a very popular character, because he robbed from the rich to give to the poor. Although i think that if people were starving then they would relate to Robin Hood a lot more. In the medievel period there definately was starvation and plagues about. The time we live in effects our perspective on how we feel about theft and banditry.
