Historic Figures who never existed…

What's not to love about Robin Hood, the famed legend who stole from the rich to give to the poor? Well, other than the fact that he may have only been a fictional character. While there have been records in the 13th century that could point to the Nottinghamshire hero—under a variation of names such as "Robehod" and "Rabunhod"—many fables place him in different eras and places. It remains unclear whether such a person ever roamed the earth, though a bandit fighting injustice surely makes for a great story.
