Line 98:
* [[Myspeld Rokband]], to an extent. While there were a few straight uses, it was (and still is) definitely parodied a lot more often then it was used straight.
* [[w:Ring armour|Ring mail]] is a type of armor used in [[Tabletop Games]] like ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', and video games based on such. Supposedly, this armor is made by a sewing a series of metallic rings onto a leather foundation. However, the only evidence of historical use is some artworks, and no actual examples of this sort of armor set has survived to the present day. Even the Splat book ''Arms and Equipment Guide'', published by TSR for the 2nd Edition of the game, admits that it is debatable such armor ever existed.
* Treasure Maps. The ones with the "X marks the spot" design that lead to [[Pirate Booty]]. There is no record of anyone ever finding this sort of map, much less finding anything valuable by following one. Pirates did indeed hide their stolen loot, often to make sure the authorities wouldn't catch them with evidence ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Kidd William Kidd] was especially notorious for this) most most were smart enough to commit the location to memory, something that makes a lot more sense than drawing a map.
