First of all Nero isn't in Camelot at all and the 12 are knights not kings.
Camelot is known to us only from Arthurian legend, mostly from later Arthurian legend.According to the Post-Vulgate Arthurian Cycle, after Arthur had vanished and Lancelot had died and been buried at Joyous Gard, old King Mark of Cornwall, made an alliance with the Saxons, and they plundered most of Britain, destroying Lancelot's tomb and burning down Camelot.This story may have been invented to explain why neither Joyous Gard on the Humber or Camelot near the Forest of Camelot on the River of Camelot could be identified with real places.Gildas in his De Excidu Britanniae, complains about the ill deeds of five contemporary kings of Britain. Four of these are then listed by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his Historia Regem Britanniae as the kings who reigned following Arthur: Constantine, Aurelius Conan, Vortipore, and Malgo.According to Geoffrey of Monmouth, Constantine is the son of Duke Cador of Cornwall, one of Arthur's most faithful supporters. (Don't ask how Cador relates to King Mark of Cornwall. There are also King Yder of Cornwall and King Caberentin of Cornwall in Arthurian legend.)
It was called the kings crusade because at the time Richard the lion heart and saladin had a fight against the holy land, they are both kings in some sort of way.

Yes, the first full Arthurian legend appears in the Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain) by Geoffrey of Monmouth written c. 1136.

It is a reference to Geoffrey of Monmouth. Galfridus is the latinized version of Geoffrey. Geoffrey was a monk in the twelfth century who established most of the basic elements of the Arthurian legend in a book called "The History of the Kings of Britain." Post Galfridian would mean versions of the legend or elements thereof that date from after Geoffrey's writing. Michael Montagne

According to legend they were the greatest champions of chivalry and the personal companions of King Arthur. There were 150 of them. The Knights of the Round Table were people in the legends about King Arthur. They were highest honored knights in the kingdom, and lived in King Arthur's personal castle, Camelot. They were called that because of a special table in Camelot, that was round instead of rectangular. This meant that everyone who sat around it was seen as equal to one another.

It is unknown if there ever was a King Arthur; perhaps his stories are partly fictional and partly based upon stories of several different kings. There is a ruin called Tintagel, which is on the west coast of Cornwall at aprox the same lattitude as Exeter.
