No, because there is not just one Arthurian legend, but quite a few, and they don't all agree. In fact, some are quite different from others. Your little brother might, if he had the time, write an interesting essay summarizing how many different stories of Arthur he could find.
Basically, Arthur was an early British king, and he was Celtic. Most of the rest is open to debate. It is generally agreed that his queen's name was Guinevere, and that he sat his knights at a round table, to promote the concept of equality.
His half-sister, the priestess Morgan le Fey, seduced him and therefore made him a party to her magical practices with his incest.
His counselor was Merlin, the greatest wizard of the age.

Fictional Character, conceived when Merlin disguised his father, as the husband of someone whose name I forget. Merlin want the results of the nights deeds, which was Arthur! Merlin put a sword in the stone, knowing Arthur would pull it out, and unite England, which was Merlin's goal. King Arthur formed the round table and a group of knights who had a code of conduct, eg to rescue damsels in distress and help the week and poor, however, most of the Arthurian myths and legends were concieved and written about in Victorian England, and therefore most are based on the moral values of that time.

King Arthur is an important figure in the mythology of Great Britain, where he appears as the ideal of kingship both in war and peace. He is the central character in the cycle of legends known as the Matter of Britain. There is disagreement about whether Arthur, or a model for him, ever actually existed. In the earliest mentions and in Welsh texts, he is never given the title 'King'. An early text refer to him as a dux bellorum ('war leader'), and medieval Welsh texts often call him ameraudur ('emperor'; the word is borrowed from the Latin imperator, which could also mean 'war leader').
