Contrary to popular belief, no English or British monarchs claimed a direct line of ancestry stretching back to Arthur. King Arthur's only son, Mordred, had no issue, therefore there are no living descendants of King Arthur.
They did, however, claim a line of descent stretching back to his sister, Morgause (aka Anna), who was the mother of Tegid, a direct ancestor of the Tudor kings of England and Wales.
Sir Ector and the barons repeatedly ask Arthur to pull the sword from the stone to test his legitimacy as the rightful king of England. The sword symbolizes divine right and true nobility, and they want to confirm whether Arthur is indeed the prophesied ruler. Each attempt serves to validate Arthur's claim and demonstrate his unique destiny, as the sword can only be drawn by the true king. Their insistence reflects the uncertainty and skepticism surrounding Arthur's identity and potential to lead.
No. The legendary King Arthur who sometimes holds court at Camelot was the son of Uther Pendragon and is never called a Tudor. There were some other minor King Arthur in Britain several years later, but no one important. As being of Welsh descent and descended from nobility, the Tudors claimed to be heirs of Arthur. This is sometimes misrepresented as a claim that they were descendants of Arthur. However no-one, to my knowledge, as yet substantiated this second claim either from a reputable source or by providing a genealogy that would show how the Tudors were descended from Arthur.
Sir Ector de Morven was Arthur's foster father, raising him after Arthur was placed in his care by Merlin. Ector treated Arthur as his own son, not knowing his true royal lineage. Their relationship is characterized by loyalty and affection, with Ector supporting Arthur throughout his upbringing and development into the future king. This bond is central to Arthur's early life and his eventual claim to the throne.
Sir Kay, Arthur's stepbrother, demonstrates his unworthiness for kingship through his arrogance and lack of honor. When given the opportunity to pull the sword from the stone, he attempts to claim the glory for himself rather than acknowledging Arthur's rightful claim. His actions reveal a self-serving nature, prioritizing personal ambition over the nobility and responsibility required of a true king. This stark contrast to Arthur's humility and virtue underscores why Kay is unfit to rule.
Neither. there are some that claim citric acid dissolves uric acid crystals in the blood stream but there is no reliable evidence reinforcing this claim,
The Tudor monarchs had the flimsiest of claims to the English throne, so Henry VII asserted his right to the throne of England by virtue of being descended from the British King Arthur. Because the Tudor claim to the throne was essentially based on Welsh lineage, it was necessary to the Tudor dynasty to insist that Wales and England were one country. The Acts of Union were not primarily intended for the benefit of England or Wales - they were for the benefit of the Tudors.
lawful monarchs should be restored.
In some versions of the legend, King Arthur does pull the sword Excalibur from the stone on Christmas Day. This event is a key moment in establishing his rightful claim to the throne of England.

During the Glorious Revolution of 1688, William of Orange and his wife Mary II were placed as joint monarchs of England. They were invited to take the throne by a group of Protestant nobles who opposed the rule of King James II, a Catholic. This event marked a significant shift in power, establishing parliamentary sovereignty and limiting the powers of the monarchy. William and Mary ruled together, with Mary's accession legitimizing their claim to the throne.
The common belief is that King Arthur was born in Tintagel Castle which is in the southwest corner of England. However, the castle was built in the 12th century for some an earl at that time and Arthur lived around the 5th and 6th centuries. However, there are ruins of a stronghold near Tintagel Castle which date from Arthur's time period.

Australia's "national day" is Australia Day, held on 26 January every year. The day marks the arrival of the First Fleet of convicts and officers from England - the first official European settlers in Australia.

The exact location of Camelot, the mythical castle of King Arthur, is unknown; or, rather, several cities claim the honor. It is somewhere in the west of England, near the boundary of Cornwall. Arthur is associated with Salisbury (the megalithic monument of Stonehenge is near Salisbury) and Tintagel Castle, on the north coast of Cornwall.
