What historical figure was the closest to Conan?
I guess any of the semi-mythical figures.
Greek: Trojan war heroes and the Argonauts
Russian: Ilya Muramets (confirmed historical figure) and other Bogatyrs
Probably that fucker who killed like 50 Saxons on the bridge at the battle of Stanford bridge
David in The Bible.
Starts out trying to save his people from invaders, becomes a brave and noble warrior king.

That viking was made up bullshit. Where were the archers? And it's said some guy in a barel swimmed under the bridge and stabbed him in the balls so that's even less believable than Saxon archers magically disappearing.

You have to admit its a pretty cool story though. Also, they were hardly going to use a whole volley to kill 1 man who was surrounded by saxons were they?
