The Legend class is a container of legend handles and legend texts. The legend
handler map specifies how to create legend handle from artists (lines, patches,
etc.) in the axes or figures; default legend handlers are defined in the
:mod:`~matplotlib.legend_handler` module.

The default legend handlers do not cover all artist types, but custom legend
handlers can be defined to support arbitrary objects. See the :doc:`legend
guide </tutorials/intermediate/legend_guide>` for more information.

I‘ll be so bold as to merge with one review. The only non-doc change is the rcParams to mpl.rcParams for which we already have precedence. So let‘s not waste valuable developer time on a second review.
