Answer 1

If you get Netflix, the history channel (or maybe Biography) made a wonderful show on it and all the supposed "maybes" of who he
might have been and where and all- we saw it and really enjoyed it-

Answer 2

Well, according to Geofry of Mamouth, Arthur was a dark aged king who helped united the kingdoms of Britain, but not substainal link has been found to make this true. Current theories state that perhaps Arthur was actually part of the Roman Army. This theory came to light after a slab was found to have the name Arturius written on it. However, there is no substantial link between the Arthur of legends and the Roman Arturius.

If Camelot was real, the most likely place for it to have been is Glastonbury. Glastonbury Abbey is reported to have been the burial place of Arthur and his Queen.

The problem with descerning if Arthus was real or just a literary figure is that so many different stories are around and these stories differ so much depending on the region. The French versions written by Chretien de Troys are vastly different from those written by Sir Thomas Malory, an English knight. Even the story about the Holy Grail is different.

Answer 3

While many instances of the stories of King Arthur seem to be legend, they may well not be.
Case in Point: They city of Troy. Just a legend until the city was dug up by Heinrich Schliemann in the late 1800s.
King Arthur was the King of the Britons around 450 AD. He defended the lands from the Saxons.
Some heavy hitters at the round table were Gawain, Percival, Bors, Lancelot, Tristan, and Galahad.
They say that Camelot could be near Glastonbury, Windchester, or Colchester.

Answer 5

Not really.
In fact, the idea of a perfect British king that lived at or around the fall of the Roman Empire didn't take off until the Late Middle Ages. Arthur espoused all of the values of that time, and later during the Renaissance the story changed to fit the values of that time (Lancelot seducing Guenivere for instance).

Answer 6

Have you seen the movie King Aurthor, it goes along historically acurate. King arthur was Arturious, he was a roman soldier, at the fall of the Roman empire, Baisically King Arthur didn't like the cardinal, and the church, all the murder and war, so he revolted and started the british empire.
You should really see the movie, it's interesting historey

Answer 7

Difficult. We know that he did exist because we have church records telling us of his death. A theory is that he came from a Romanised British family and led some kind of band of mounted warriors that resisted the invasions of the Saxons. As the monasteries were the only places where he could obtain food etc for his men and horses it supposed that he was unpopular with the church. This explains why they did not record his exploits, only his death. The legends place his HQ as being somewhere in the South West but perhaps a better candidate is Colchester, after all for hundreds of years it had been a Roman garrison town and is nearer to where the invasions were taking place.
