What is the first animated Disney film about a real life historical figure? (The film doesn’t have to be historically accurate. It just has to be about a real historical figure.)

Pocahontas. It was not historically accurate, but it was about an actual historical figure.
What about Davey Crocket, King of the Wild Frontier (1955)?
Also, the sequal, Davey Crocket and the River Pirates (1956)?
Cool Runnings (1993) was loosley based on the 1988 Jamaican Bobsled team, Squanto: A Warriors Tale (1994) was also VERY loosley based on the Native American figure.
They were based on real people, but they weren’t animated. Pocahontas was.
