Robin Hood
During the 13th and 14th centuries, Robin Hood’s story grew in popularity, but it was never proven to be true. Many English outlaws referred to themselves as “Robin Hood” during that time period because of their nefarious activities. Others believe Fulk FitzWarin, a nobleman inspired Robin Hood. FitzWarin’s story was later reprinted in the medieval tale Fouke le Fitz Waryn, which revealed many parallels.

Confucius
Confucius was regarded as one of China’s wisest and most thoughtful philosophers. Many scholars, however, believe the philosopher to be nothing more than a fictional character due to a lack of evidence. According to Lionel M. Jensen, director of Chinese studies at the University of Colorado at Denver, the philosopher was created in the 16th century by Jesuit missionaries.
