As far as I know tehanu - 19/04/2004 01:37:41 PM

there is some historical evidence for an Arthur, but he was only a local warlord or somesuch. Malory collected and translated various legends, someone else (I forget his name) rearranged them a bit then Tennyson had a go at them. So the King Arthur we know has had quite a bit of embellishment over the years.
