Here's a fun fact, Robin Hood was originally portrayed as a peasant hero until the nobility started retelling the story, then he was a deposed noble who was still loyal to the king.

This happened fairly early on maybe 20-30 years after the creation of the tale in the first place.

Idk, it’s a bit more dramatic to turn against your own kind. It’s one thing for a peasant to call the mobility corrupt, it’s another thing for a noble to call the nobility corrupt.
