He’s a character from folklore which is a bit different. He isn’t owned by any one author. He may be based on historical people with certain details embellished or altered, and then more fictional stories added on over time.
His stories do include references to real historical people and events, such as the kings Richard I and John. The 1938 film (starring Errol Flynn) weaves these two into a story about Robin Hood leading a peasant revolt against John, tapping into Anglo-Saxon identity as a form of English nationalism.
I’m pretty sure they’re saying that this fictional story about a fictional character is necessary be because the true story would be about Bezos and people would hate it.
Sorta? He’s a folk legend, which are often based in reality but highly exaggerated (more and more over time). So mostly yes, but probably at least partially no
Real story? He’s a fictional character.
