That sounds like the kind of fact that they'd have had on an early series of QI, only to retract it in a later series and redistribute points.

Just checked, looks like that story comes from an 11th century Persian epic poem, Shahnameh. It doesn't seem to be referenced in that article, but is discussed in this one.
