Yes, there were poor highwaymen throughout history. Many turned to highway robbery out of desperation due to poverty, lack of opportunities, or social injustice. While some became infamous and wealthy from their exploits, many others struggled to survive, often living on the fringes of society and facing the constant threat of capture or violence. Their actions were sometimes driven more by necessity than by a desire for wealth.
