The "historic" godboy was not "historic." At least there is no "history" of him from the period in question.
There is a history even if it's not entirely reliable. Scholars go by the method of multiple attestation to derive things about his life which they are fairly certain is true, such as that he was born in Nazareth, he had some connection to the historical John the Baptist, he preached the end of days, he was crucified by the Romans.
