The only historical reference to the man believed to be 'King' Arthur comes in an early Briton manuscript, which refers to Arthur as a 'Comes Bellorum'- meaning the 'Warlord of the British'. It then goes on to list a string of battles, and then no further reference is made to him. The rest of the Arthurian legend has been added over time, such as him being a King, his court at 'Camelot' and his 'knights'. Most likely he was a post-Roman cavalry commander who managed to lead the beleaguered British tribes to a string of victories against the onslaught of the Saxons and Picts, who had invaded Briton in the absence of the Romans.

Was King Arthur a medieval king?

It is not even certain that King Arthur was a real person. If he was real, he was probably a British war leader in late ancient or very early medieval times. Long after that, during the middle ages, many stories of Arthur developed and, as was common then, they were set in the world as the medieval people knew it, not the world of late ancient times. So whatever he was in reality, the stories that have come down to us are stories of a medieval king.
