yes he was a briton after the romans left england and fought against the invading anglo-saxons. he wasn't magical like the fables say but I do believe he was a real person.

Yes, minor figure in Wessex used to market the stories as he was fairly recently deceased but still the name most people knew.

There's a dating controversy for when exactly he existed.

He once lived as an Ancient, the same people who built the stargates and also built Atlantis.

Ourside of Stargate lore, no idea if he actually existed.

Clearly pulling swords out of rocks is the best way to determine the form of governance,[hype.my]

Link for King of England!

This is obviously historically accurate too

Highly unlikely. I listen to a podcast known as simply "The British History Podcast", and the time period King Arthur was supposed to have lived was covered.

In all the episode, there were A LOT of documents written at the time criticizing rival kings, and political leaders of the time. NONE mentioned a king arthur. There was an episode on King Arthur, but it was pretty much regarded as a myth.

Geoffrrey of Monmouth was the first person to write about King Arthur, who is also known by people as "Geoffrey The Liar" because a lot of his works were literally made up. Add to that, every archaeological coincidentally is either dated to be way later than the time he was around, or so ridiculously vague that there's no reason to connect it to the tale, I highly doubt he actually existed.

Alfred The Great is the closest King Arthur you're gonna get. Ironically, he was an anglo-saxon, who fought off vikings.

There was a conspiracy to hide the dating in Wessex, owing to gross manipulation of its royal line to incorporate it into Angles.

The last text corroborating this burned in another 'mystery' Royal Library fire, and the only text corroborating the Roman perspective has been proven to be a fake rife with egregious grammatical errors concurrent with early pre-rosetta attempts at translation.

Discounting Arthur's historical legacy has become the mode for the establishment to deal with it, as the isles were otherwise stifled by centuries of misrule and total war infighting.

Perhaps he did.
He is thought to have been a Romano-British soldier in the 5th/6th century, but there is absolutely no firm proof that he existed.

Back then they would cast a sword blade in a mold cut from stone. Special swords were made for their owner. It was probably considered very spiritual that the future owner removed the blade from the casting mold. So if a blade was made for a king, then a king must remove the sword from the stone.

There are many versions, also because of the tales, a bit like Vlad the Impaler and Dracul, so there are a lot of misinformations.

Apparently, Arthur or better Artorius, was from a Roman family, he was the son of Flavius Claudius Constantinus, renamed as Uther Pendragon to sound more friendly to the British tribes, and Uther Pendragon was the son of the Roman Emperor Constantine III.

I think we can all agree that Roman names absolutely RULE.

Information from the Latin fakes.

Kind of incrdulous how much effort went into obscuring the story tbh.

They're names English people made up to sound "Roman-y" when they were manufacturing the story to disguise the abject failure of rule and repeated total destruction of all ruling families between 400 ad and ~1200 ad.

Maybe King Arthur was multiple rulers at the time.
