Historically attested

This page groups historical figures by how solidly their existence is documented, from people confirmed by independent contemporary sources to ones known only from later religious writing. Wikipedia defines historicity as "the historical actuality of persons and events, meaning the quality of being part of history instead of being a historical myth, legend, or fiction." Browsing this way lets a visitor tell a firmly historical founder apart from a figure whose existence scholars still debate.
