Best Answer

The legendary King Arthur and the knight of the round table were fictional characters which may have been based on real person, possibly from the 5th or 6th century AD.

The earliest reference seems to be the poem 'Historia Brittonum' originating from Wales in 800 AD. From that point and through the 11th century poems an troubadour songs appear extolling the virtues of Arthur.

will some one plz anser i neeed it for my home work

Well, I hope you got an answer for your homework. It's impossible to say for certain because it is impossible to know when King Arthur, either the literary character or whatever historical figure inspired the legends, was born. If we want to deal with the real man behind the legends, then I like Geoffrey Ashe's theory that he was a Romano-British leader known to history as Riothomus who was probably active between about 455 and 470 AD. If you assume he was young, in his twenties when he became prominent, then he would have been born in the early 430s. That would make him a little over 1575 years old today.
