What year was King Arthur was born?

Answer 1

Actually, the original Arthur Angus Pendragon was born on September 9, 1424 - but due to the nature of his conceivement, he was noted as heir to the Pendragon throne... even though his father was not royalty. His father was one of Uther Pendragon's Palace guards. Merlin himself helped the guard commit adultery to consummate Arthur's birth.

Answer 2

The historical British leader who gave rise to the the legends and romances of King Arthur was most likely a man known to history as Riothomus, many historians would dispute that, however. He lived in the mid 5th century and was probably an active leader from about the mid 450's to about 470. An excellent book about him and his connection to the Arthurian legend is The Discovery of King Arthur by Geoffrey Ashe. Over the next two or three centuries various British/Welsh leaders, some of whom were named Arthur, accomplished various things which bear similarity to things that can be read about in the Arthurian romances.
