No. There are no records of a King Arthur in England, certainly not in Anglo-Saxon England.
The Anglo-Saxons were very warlike people. Their king would usually exemplify the traits of heroes such as Beowulf.

The conflict of the film "King Arthur" revolves around Arthur's struggle to unite the warring kingdoms of Britain against the invading Saxons while also coming to terms with his true identity and destiny as the rightful king.

There are many legends, all differing from each other. Though there is no real proof King Arthur ever even lived, some believe Sir Lancelot or one of the other knights of The Round Table took over. Other legends, and there is some historical proof, that the Anglo-Saxons took over Britain. However, there is no proof whether or not there was any King between the legendary, King Arthur, and the Saxons.
No one is entirely sure if King Arthur really existed. There is potentially some element of truth in the story, but over the years it's been 'padded out' with adventures and things to make it a more interesting story. For all we know, King Arthur may not have been royalty at all. The historical basis for the Arthur legend lies in the 5th and 6th centuries when Roman Britain was fighting against the Anglo-Saxon invaders. Arthur, or his historical progenetor, would have been a British leader fighting against the Saxons. Thus he might have been called King of Britain but he was against the people who were not yet called English. Evidence shows that King Arthur was real, but wasn't actually a king. He was just a peasant, a rebel. We all have just made up this fantastic story about him because he was a great man. Like J.F.K. Some people say J.F.K was really "king" Arthur reincarnated.
