Yes, some scholars suggest that King Arthur may have been based on a historical Celtic chieftain. Arthur is often depicted as a leader fighting against Saxon invaders in post-Roman Britain, which aligns with the activities of various Celtic leaders during that time. Historical texts, such as the "Historia Brittonum," mention a figure named Arthur who led battles, further fueling the idea that he may have been a real chieftain whose legend evolved over time. However, definitive evidence remains elusive, and much of the Arthurian narrative blends history with myth.
King Arthur never ruled Celtic tribes. He ruled the ancient BRITTONS

No, King Arthur is not believed to have been an Anglo-Saxon. He is a legendary figure from Celtic mythology and is associated with the Britons, who were a Celtic people. The Anglo-Saxons arrived in Britain centuries after the time when King Arthur is said to have lived.
King Arthur.
There is no evidence that anyone has been reincarnated, and King Arthur is more myth and legend than fact, so there is no evidence that King Arthur (or anyone else for that matter) has been reincarnated.
Arthur is a fictional character. There is no physical evidence of his existance.
The title of king in Celtic tribes varied by region and time period, as the Celts were not a unified group but a collection of tribes with their own leaders. Prominent figures include Vercingetorix, the chieftain of the Arverni tribe, who famously resisted Roman conquest, and other leaders like Boudica, who led the Iceni against Roman rule. Each tribe often had its own king or chieftain, reflecting local customs and governance. Thus, there isn't a single "king of the Celtic tribe," but rather many leaders across different tribes.
He was a local king of Britain with his roots in Cornwall which now forms part of England.[who to this day have their own Celtic language and a strong sense of identity apart from England]AnswerKing Arthur is most likely a Celtic legend and most historians would probably say it is a welsh story although it isn't possible to know for sure The earliest mention of King Arthur in British literature refers to 'Our King Arthur', it is written in WELSH.

Arthur was associated with Celtic mythology,although he was a historical figure from around the fifth or sixth centuries,after the Romans left Britain in the period that is known as The Dark Ages.In the Athurian saga,centered on the adventures of The Knights of the Round-Table.Arthur is a Medieval King.There appears to be no contemporary Celtic references to Arthur,either as a historical or as a legendary figure,although he did become involved in the story of Culhwch and in the story of the journey to Annw to acquire the enchanted cauldron.Arthur is associated with Celtic myth but this may have been a postdated association.It is likely that he came to power in the dying days of the Celts and that the stories surrounding him grew as they were driven farther and farther from their native land.Certainly there seems to be little,if any,evidence to link Arthur to the Celtic period. King Arthur, as such, is a legend. But it is highly probable that there was a Romano-British leader in the fifth century who commanded Celtic tribes in successful resistance to the invading Anglo-Saxons and is the basis on which the legends were built. Read "The Discovery of King Arthur" by Geoffrey Ashe for a very good exploration of the idea. He argues very strongly that the man behind the legend was a commander known to history as Riothimus. He is the only known figure who actually did some things which parallel the legend at about the right time. Riothimous seems to be a title rather than a name so his real name could have been...Who knows?...Arthur? King Arthur was a local tribal chieftain of the Britons of the west of England. His base was supposedly the spectacular Tintagel castle in Cornwall. His kingdoms name was camolot
We can't really compare the Ledendary Arthur to a real one because, being Legendary, we don't know if he actually existed, and if he did, everything we know about him is Legendary. -~Iolaos~-
