Did King Arthur have any children?

Answer 1

It's unclear to what degree King Arthur is a factual figure and to what degree our knowledge of Arthur is based on legend. Generally it's believed that Arthur was the child of King Urther Pendragon and Igraine of Cornwall, and was taken at birth by Merlin, Urther's advisor, in secret to be fostered by Sir Ector and raised along with Ector's son Kay. T.H. White's "The Sword in the Stone" is the best source of information about the childhood of the legendary Arthur. Arthur knew nothing of his background and spent the early years of his life roaming the forests surrounding Sir Ector's castle and staying out of older brother Kay's way. At about age 7, Merlin re-entered his life and became his tutor, with the intention of preparing him to be a wise and compassionate leader. At this time, as was typical, Arthur began training to be a page. During Arthur's childhood there was no king ruling England and there was great unrest. This was probably during the 6th century, meaning that people went to bed early and got up early because of lack of electricity. Arthur probably bathed once a year or less, had no dental care, and was expected to work hard at the castle and to stay out of the way and out of trouble. When he was about 14 he began training as Kay's squire - Kay had become a knight by that time - and when he was 15 he accompanied Kay to a tournament in London. Arthur had forgotten to bring Kay's sword with them and so in desperation, he found a sword (Excalibur) stuck in a stone (by Merlin although Arthur didn't know it), pulled the sword out and ran to give it to Kay. Kay immediately recognized the sword as one which could only be pulled out of the stone by the rightful king of England, and thus Arthur's childhood ended and he became King Arthur.

Answer 2

King Arthur the son of Uther Pendragon and was whisked away by Merlin as a child and thus never knew of his royal lineage. He served a knight who needed a sword in a tournament. He couldn't find one right away, until he found the fabled Sword and the Stone, which he pulled out effortlessly. Once pulled, he was recognized as the young king of England, and kept Merlin as his advisor for the majority of his reign.
