Robber barons were those men that had sworn an oath to the King or reigning noble in their individual states or Duchies. They had gone to war for their liege and returned home, only to find the life was boring and uninteresting compared to combat, so they banded together and started terrorizing whole areas with fighting the locals and stealing what they had to keep up the tyranny.
