As Napoleon himself once said, 'History is a version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.' Noted down in historical documents, copied and widely repeated, it doesn't take long for a version of the truth to become accepted as fact.

Cleopatra, Marco Polo, Captain Cook, Joan of Arc; most of us could reel off a fact or two about each.
