i was wondering was there an actuall king arthur or knights of the round table?

Question

was there actually a sir lancelot and so on.

Answer 1

At least two schools of thought exist on whether Arthur was an historical figure:

Theory 1: Arthur was originally a Celtic deity who devolved into a personage.

Or

Theory 2: He was an actual Roman-British leader fighting the invading Anglo-Saxons in the fifth-century CE. That's not to say that Camelot or the Knights of the Round Table existed.

Arthur's archaeological evidence is scant--the so called "Arthur stone" at the ruins of Tintagel Castle in Cornwall.

Geoffrey of Monmouth's Arthur appears in the largely fictionalized "Historia Regnum Britannia," written around 1130 CE. Geoffrey most probably borrowed much of his material from existing sources: primarily, the Welsh poem, "The Gododdn" (CE 599) as well as the writings of a Welsh monk Nennius, "Historia Britonum" (830) where Arthur is a "leader of battles."

Alfred Tennyson also did much to re-popularize Arthurian legend in 19th-century England.
