When was King Arthur?
Arthur pendragon, known as King Arthur in history, is said to be the most legendary great king in medieval England. People's perceptual knowledge of him comes more from Celtic mythology and some medieval documents, and no one has set foot in King Arthur's real life. Legend has it that he is the leader of the knights of the Round Table.

The legend of King Arthur began in12nd century BC and spread all over Europe from bard. But first, we need to study it from Wales in the west of Britain. 1066 Norman conquest of England was one of the most important changes in British history, and the story of King Arthur began to spread in this ever-changing land. In Geoffrey's records, King Arthur was the 9th1king of England, and Geoffrey wrote a new role Merlin in The Story of King Arthur. As for the origin of Merlin, it can be traced back to the famous Welsh bard Myrddin.

Arthur's image is constantly changing with the evolution of legends and stories, and eventually he becomes the king who rules Britain, the leader of the "Knights of the Round Table" who subdues legendary knights such as Lancelot and Tristan, and the hero with the highest honor.

The Legend of the King and Sword in the Stone are symbols of King Arthur's supreme kingship. Wearing this legendary king of elf magic, all knights bowed down, not only established their own throne, but also triumphed in countless battles.

The historical nature of the legend of King Arthur has always been a controversial topic among scholars. Some schools think that King Arthur does not exist in history, while others think that King Arthur is the almost forgotten personification of the gods in Celtic mythology.

Some theories suggest that he was a Roman or pre-Roman figure, but according to most theories and in line with the collection of traditional myths, he was a Roman-British leader who lived from the end of the 5th century to the beginning of the 6th century and resisted the Anglo-Saxon invaders. Recent archaeological studies have pointed out that there is a generation gap between Saxons in his imaginary life. His power is likely to be rooted in Wales, Cornwall or Celtic in western England. However, the debate about the center and scope of his power and what powers he has continues to this day.
