Robin Hood
Robin Hood’s story grew in popularity during the 13th and 14th centuries, but the tale was never confirmed as being truthful. During that time period, many English outlaws referred to themselves as “Robin Hood” based on their sneaky activities. Others speculate that Robin Hood was based on the nobleman Fulk FitzWarin. FitzWarin’s story was later published in the medieval tale Fouke le Fitz Waryn, where many similarities were discovered.

Confucius
Confucius was known as one of the wisest and thoughtful philosophers in Chinese history. However, due to a lack of evidence, many scholars believe the philosopher to be nothing more than an imaginative figure. Lionel M. Jensen, the director of Chinese studies at the University of Colorado at Denver, believes that Jesuit missionaries created the philosopher during the 16th century.
