I think some historical figures are very well defined - they may have made great achievements, been very important or interesting people, but when I think "legend" I think King Arthur or Jesus or people of that ilk - probably existed, but there lives are really very shadowy, all the stories written about them being written centuries after the fact. Did they really do all the things that were ascribed to them? What is fact and what is fiction? That sort of encapsulates the "legendary" bit.
