King Arthur is a legendary figure, and the exact duration of his reign over Camelot is not definitively established in historical texts. Various legends and stories suggest that he ruled for around 15 to 20 years, but these accounts are often inconsistent and mythical in nature. Additionally, the concept of Camelot itself is more symbolic than historical, representing an idealized version of Arthur's rule rather than a specific timeline.

Was King Arthur influential in Medieval England... How?
King Arthur did not live during the Medieval Period - though Hollywood always dresses him in the armour of the twelfth century - so as a person he was not important. As a person, it is possible that King Arthur never existed at all: he may well have been just several groups of legends that got bound together into a single story (which is probably what happened with Robin Hood). If a real Arthur ever did exist, it was probably during the Sixth Century or thereabouts - a long time before the middle ages. But as an idea, Arthur was very important. Arthur was a king of the Brythons (the Welsh) who had ruled over the whole of Britain. Any Welsh king who could claim descent from Arthur could call himself the rightful king of all of Britain - and any English king who descended from Arthur could also claim to be the true king of the Welsh. The idea became important when Henry of Richmond landed with an invasion army at Milford Haven in 1485. Years of civil war (the Wars of the Roses) had killed off most of the best claimants to the throne of England, so that the throne was occupied by Richard III (who had a very poor claim) but was being contested by Henry Tudor (who had even less of one). But Henry Tudor was Welsh on his father's side. He had the brilliant idea of claiming that the Tudors were descended from King Arthur, and that this made him the rightful king of both Welsh and English. Since the Welsh and the English had been at war almost constantly for almost six reigns, both sides would have been glad of a king who could claim legitimacy for them both. When Henry defeated and killed king Richard at the Battle of Bosworth he immediately began working on establishing his descent from Arthur (which made the Tudors the rightful kings of both nations). Henry's son - Henry VIII - unified England and Wales into a single country, and his daughter - Elizabeth I - helped the Welsh translate the Bible into their own language. Many prominent Welshmen worked for the new kings of England (Elizabeth's spymaster Lord Cecil, was Welsh), and the longstanding enmity between the two countries rapidly faded. So King Arthur wasn't important as a person - perhaps he never really was a person at all. But he was important as an idea. One might say the same thing about Johnny Appleseed, Uncle Sam, Hereward the Wake - and perhaps even some real people. Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill were both real people, but their myths may be even more important than they were.
What is the story of King Arthur and the Excalibur?
King Arthur and the Legend of Excalibur:King Arthur had won a fearsome battle by unhorsing and winning the loyalty of his enemy, Sir Pellinore, who had been a plague to many knights passing through his land. Unfortunately, the noble Arthur's sword was broken in the fight, and he was weakened from loss of blood. Merlin took him through the wood to a place where the trees receded to form a lake. There was a hut by the lake, and they went inside.Merlin told King Arthur that this was the dwelling of the Lady of the Lake and that her maidens would come to care for him and make him well. A maiden dressed in white and gold then came forth and took Arthur to a room where there was a bed for him to lie upon and rest, which he did, weary. While he slept, the maidens healed Arthur with herbs and spells.After a few days passed, and he had regained his strength, the maiden called Nimue came and led Arthur away from the house to the shore of the lake. There was a big hand sticking out of it. The arm was wearing white gossamer and the hand held a big sword. Then, a boat appeared on the lake. The Lady herself appeared, dressed in deep blue. She told Arthur to climb into the boat, which he did.They rowed out to the middle of the lake, where the arm was. Arthur saw the sword up close and exclaimed at its grace and beauty. The Lady told him that it was his, he just had to pull it out of the hand. So he did, and then they rowed back.When they got to shore, the Lady told Arthur that his sword was named Excalibur, "made from steel," and that it was the strongest one in the world. It would never break. Then she gave him a magical scabbard with symbols all over it. The scabbard would prevent him from any major blood loss. Arthur would never again be as weak as he had been on the day that he came to her domain.This story of Excalibur is the most traditional one, in Pyle and also in Malory. Feminist versions have a different take, in which women play a greater role in Arthur receiving his sword. Queen of the Summer Country and The Mists of Avalon
