Question
I was wondering if there are any historical roots to the Arthurian legends?
thanks-
Hello,
historians have longly debated about the real existence of kinf Arthur, or some historical figured related to him. There's no concrete proof of any historical root of Arthurian legends, however some hypothesis can be found in this Wikipedia article:
