Not long after the Romans left and the Saxons started invading the British Isles There were many people in that time named Arthur, this could be that there around that time there was most likely a great worrier by that name or somebody just as important, this might explain why so many with the name. Anyway, it is believed that he comes from the south west of Briton, Cornwall or Wales.
England is a Saxon name!

most historians will say he was a real person and that he came from Rome

King Arthur should be identified as one Lucius Artorius Castus, a Roman dux of the 2nd century, who might have (though this is far from certain) led a numerus of Sarmatian, which was based at Ribchester and which campaigned at and north of Hadrian’s Wall. Castus' alleged military exploits in Britain and Armorica may have been remembered for centuries afterward. This is linked to a theory by C. Scott Littleton and Linda A. Malcor which suggests that the folk narratives carried by the Alano-Sarmatians as well as history associated with various groups of Alano-Sarmatians formed the core of the Arthurian tradition. The "Sarmatian connection" hypothesis was used as the basis of the film King Arthur.

King Arthur is mostly myth, although many suspect that there are historical kings and knights which form the basis of this character's story. In the Holy Grail and Roundtable traditions, Tennyson wrote a noble poem which forms much of this.

i don't in all hazard have confidence King Arthur existed. there's a danger that there became a king Arthur at some degree in background, even nonetheless this is not likely his tale is something like it became portrayed interior the legends. yet there remains greater info for king Arthur then there is for Jesus.

King Arthur was a legendary English king that never actually existed. He lived on an Island that sank beneath the sea, married a pretty women, sword from lake, holy grail, Wizard e.t.c. Really its a load of b******s, but a good story none the less.

If there was indeed a King Arthur, he was probably some kind of 5th century warlord and there was no Camelot. There is currently no definitive proof that there was such a person. And if there was and he's supposed to come back when he's needed - where is he??

The support for the Wales theory is here:

LXXII Annus. Bellum Badonis, in quo Arthur portavit crucem Domini nostri Jesu Christi tribus diebus et tribus noctibus in humeros suos et Britones victores fuerunt.

Year 72 (c. 519 AD) The Battle of Badon, in which Arthur carried the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ on his shoulders for three days and three nights and the Britons were victors.

XCIII Annus. Gueith Camlann, in qua Arthur et Medraut corruere; et mortalitas in Brittania et in Hibernia fuit.

Year 93 (c. 540 AD) The strife of Camlann in which Arthur and Medraut fell, and there was death in Britain and in Ireland.

Make of it what you will.
