What is the model for moral resistance?

Jonathan Pageau spoke about Robin Hood, King David, and the Green Man fron the Koran (Al Khadir) in his recent podcast. These characters provide a moral framework in which one is allowed to rebel against the authority over them.

In all of these stories, the legitimate authority has become corrupt, power-hungry, or is broken in some way. These characters carry out actions (stealing from the rich etc.) which are on the surface immoral. However, in the context of serving a higher power, they are justified.

Robin Hood serves King Richard
David serves God
Al Khadir serves the people

A rebel must carry out his actions in the service of the legitimate authority to be considered legitimate.
