Everyone seems to be familiar with King Arthur’s story, from Monty Python and the Holy Grail to the numerous remakes. On the other hand, historians have questioned the story and agree that many of the facts are suspect. The story appears to be based on Lucius Artorius Castus, a Roman military commander. Other historians believe the story was inspired by Riothamus, the fifth-century king of the Britons.

William Shakespeare

Many people are skeptical of William Shakespeare’s legacy and the validity of his work. Although some researchers believe Shakespeare wrote under a pen name, others still doubt his existence due to a lack of information about his background. Shakespeare was actually a man named Edward de Vere, according to a theory discovered by schoolteacher J. Thomas Looney. According to this theory, de Vere’s work was published under William Shakespeare after his death.
