Was King Arthur actually a real king in the dark ages ?
there is evidence to suggest that King Arthur was a Saxon king part of the dark ages. He is also said to be son Uther Pendragon and Igraine of Cornwall. He may have gained fame as a warrior due to fighting off Germanic invaders during the late 5th and early 6th centuries. However, the legend surrounding him is just that. A legend. A legend has some basis in fact but over the centuries this fact may have been lost or distorted into the romanticised legend of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table we know of today.
