This is a controversial question, but here is my personal opinion. King Arthur was a king of the Britons, a Celtic people, in the fifth and sixth centuries. In the Easter Annals,a document from the dark ages, he is mentioned twice: 516: Battle of Mt. Badon in which Arthur carried the cross of our lord Jesus Christ on his shoulders for three days and nights and the Britons were victorious 537: Strife of Camlan in which Arthur and Medraut fell. Those aren't the exact wordings but fairly close. Badon was crucial point in Arthur's military career because it stopped the Saxons from coming further west for a few decades. It is assumed that Arthur died in Camlan, but it is not really known. Perhaps he survived and retired from public life. Especially since he lost the battle. This could be where the legend of the once and future king comes from. He left Britain to his sucessor, Constantine of Dumnonia. If you are seeking more information about this topic, I highly recommend reading King Arthur: The truth behind the legend by Rodney Castleden. It goes into far more depth than I have. What I have stated is not all the evidence. There is more, but I don't have the time and will to write it all down right now.

Where did King Arthur really live?
There is some controversy as to whether there was ever a real King Arthur at all. Some have found reason to believe that castle/fortress remains found in the area near Salisbury suggest a one-time home for the legendary Arthur, but there is insufficient evidence to point to a true home to King Arthur in the history books. He did live in Camelot though, in the fantasy stories inspired by the potentially true character.
How did Camelot get its name?
Camelot, the legendary castle associated with King Arthur, is believed to have derived its name from the Welsh word "Camelot," which may relate to the term "Camelot" in later romances or stories.

However, the exact origin of the name remains uncertain and is steeped in myth. Its fame largely comes from medieval literature, particularly the works of Geoffrey of Monmouth and later Arthurian romances.
