King Arthur is a legendary character, there is little evidence that he ever existed - despite this the Welsh Annals and Welsh Triads are a useful source of information. The legends suggest that if he did exist he was an British king (British in this case referring to the pre-Saxon dwellers of the land). Mythology refers to his castle being Camelot, but this is almost certainly a name given much later. If indeed Camelot did exist Cadbury Castle in Somerset is considered by some to be the most likely site of Arthur's base as excavations in the 60's and 70's showed re-fortification during the 5th/6th century and that it was used as a base by a powerful leader and his men.

When King Arthur was around was warfare around?

Yes, when King Arthur was around warfare existed. The only fact we know about King Arthur is that he was a king in the English county of Cornwall sometime after the collapse of the Roman Empire. Warfare existed before written records existed. Warfare existed long before the days of the Roman Empire or any other Empire. It existed long before the days of King Arthur. We can say with certainty that it existed during the time of King Arthur. People have told many different stories about King Arthur over the years. We are not sure which items in the stories about King Arthur are correct and which ones are not. We still enjoy hearing them and seeing them presented in plays, on our TVs, and in our Movie Theaters.
