Does Arthur really exist in history?
It should exist. Arthur's main contribution was to lead the Knights of Britain to resist the rule of the Roman Empire and the invasion of Sassanian Dynasty.

Created a democratic consultation system, which was later known as the round table.

According to legend, Arthur is the illegitimate child of Ingrid, who is the wife of former English kings, Wu Seer kings and Duke of Cornwall. He was brave and good at fighting, and later became the king of England because of his repeated exploits.

Arthur's story is mainly passed down from mouth to mouth among British people, and it is a record of wild epic.

There is no detailed record about the legendary king in the official history, so some people think that the so-called Arthur does not exist.

This may be related to the fact that the British Isles were under the rule of the Roman Empire at that time.

However, we can still find some clues from some official documents. In 800 AD, Welsh monks wrote A History of brinton, in which the name Arthur was mentioned twice.

This is the latest record of Arthur's life.

Arthur's name first appeared in a poem called Gauldin written by a Welsh poet.

This poem records the heroic deeds of Arthur for the first time, and Arthur is gradually deified in folklore.

According to the research of foreign historians in modern times, there was no historical record in the history of the British Isles for a period of time, which was a blank.

This period is about 500 AD, including about 50 years.

This period is probably the time when Arthur lived.

Combined with Arthur's illegitimate status, he left no descendants after his death.

So his history is probably not recorded in official history, but remembered by future generations.

And any nation will have one or two heroes, so Arthur may have a prototype, but later his story was gradually deified in the process of communication, and Arthur was promoted to a god-like figure.

There are many such stories in the history of China.

Any nation needs to create heroes.

This is the same.
