What historical fact is a legend based on?

What legend? A legend is a story from the past that is believed to be historical but cannot be verified. A legend can be based upon any historical fact. For example, the legend of Romulus and Remus. Now there could actually have been twin brothers who were active in the founding of Rome, but there is no historical proof of this. The same is for the legend of Hercules. It is possible that there actually was a strong man who did some of the "labors" and the legend grew from there. King Arther is another legendary figure who more than likely was a historical figure and his works embellished into a legend.What legend?
