A robber baron or robber knight (German Raubritter) was an unscrupulous feudal landowner who resorted to banditry while protected by his fief's legal status. Medieval robber barons robbed merchants, land travelers, and river traffic. They might rob cargoes, steal entire ships, or kidnap for ransom.
Robbery is the criminal activity of illegally, unlawfully, and illicitly possessing property belonging to another individual typically through violent or threatening means. While the act of Robbery falls under the overarching classification of Larceny, which is defined as the legal term for âtheftâ, Robbery includes violent tactics and methods utilized by the individual or individuals charged with Robbery.
