That is a subject of much debate among historians. It is generally conceded today, that he did not "steal from the rich and give to the poor", he stole from everyone and kept ever penny of it. But he is seem by some as a force against the evils of the government of the time, and by other researchers he is seen as a plain old garden-variety thug. Take your pick.

Is Robin Hood a murderer?

I'm not sure if he can be considered a murderer, although he did kill a few people in his time. I prefer to think of Robin Hood as a medieval SWAT commando. He robed from the rich and fed the poor; when he killed people, it was because they stood for something he did not believe in. I think that he only killed people when it was necessary, and he had good reasoning for it, so I'm not sure if the title of "Murderer" would fit Robin Hood.

Robin Hood must have had a family. In the ballad "The Death of Robin Hood" Robin is treated for an illness by his cousin, who is prioress of the convent at Kirklees. Robin's illness is not named; in my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles I assume that it was the Black Death, which killed hundreds of people in England in 1348.
