He was a king, that's why we have the Legend of King Arthur and Excalibur, the sword in the stone, and the lady of the lake and Merlin and Guinivere and Lancelot and the whole thing. Pastscapian wrote: Arthur of the earlier legends and pseudo-histories (8th/9th/10 Centuries) isn't called a king. He's either 'Lord of the Islands' or a dux bellorum (leader of battles). In fact, he's seen more as a superhuman, or even minor deity figure. The Protector of Britannia. He is only later actually called a king and even an emperor in one legend.
