King Arthur... he was real right?!?! Not necessarily. There are some historical records that relate to a King Arthur that brought the various tribes of Great Britain together, but there is no historical evidence of the Arthurian legend as it is 'known' by many. There is a growing school of thought that he may have been real, but the Britain the legend refers to may not be the Britain we know now. Alternatively, there is a school of thought that King Arthur himself is a melding of the deeds of many people into one character and story. "La Morte D'Arthur" by Sir Thomas Mallory (1485) has long been considered to be "the" source for Arthurian "facts", however, there are allegations that Mallory's book may have been plagiarised from a much earlier work based on a "Christian Soldier" style king in the region of Normandy.
