Banditry was of course an issue up until the 19th century in some places and the roots of the concept of banditry go back to before antiquity(before the Greco Roman era) and the ideas of rebels in the countryside with motive part criminal part political existed in the form of the Baguadae in late roman Gaul.

How can we have bandits, woodsmen or highwaymen in the medieval ages end up ruling a kingdom or domain of great size-basically a criminal state,

How can medieval authority collapse into this point?

Is this even possible? I
