Did King Arthur, a household name in Britain, really exist?
King Arthur is the legendary king of England in the 5th century. King Arthur is a legend in the history of victory. Its story has been circulated among the people, and the legend about King Arthur has become more and more mysterious with the passage of time. But in any case, the role of King Arthur has really appeared in history. Stories originate from life, but they cannot be equated with life. For this story, we have been unable to prove its authenticity, but its source does exist.

We believe that these legends originated from the story of a real Celtic military leader who took the lead in resisting the Anglo-Saxons who landed in Britain 400 to 600 years ago. 300 years later, a historian nereus described him. At this time, many storytellers have had time to embellish it.

Judging from the known materials, King Arthur is probably a real historical figure. He may have really led the Celts in Britain to resist the German invasion. But his real image may not be as magical and full as the legend. No matter what kind of existence King Abel is, King Arthur that people are familiar with now is a microcosm of British culture and ideals. As a cultural symbol, its significance is far richer and more exciting than that of real historical figures.

Camelot is the legendary city of King Arthur, and the nearest to Camelot in history is Cadbury Castle. There is only one hill in the valley now. However, archaeological excavations show that Cadbury Castle was an important fortress 1500 years ago, which is very suitable for being a king's castle.

The archaeological relics excavated in this castle also conform to the age of the 5th century BC set for King Arthur by Nienhos, the author of "History of the King of Great Britain". After the research of Arthurian legend experts, the hero ambrosius? In the 5th century, Augliera Nias led the Romanized British people to resist the Anglo-Saxon invasion. Arthur is a Roman name, and ambrosius is probably one of the archetypes of King Arthur.
