King Arthur is a legendary
British leader who, according to medieval histories and
romances, led the defence of Britain against the Saxon invaders
in the early 6th century. The details of Arthur's story are
mainly composed of folklore and literary invention, and his
historical existence is debated and disputed by modern
historians. The sparse historical background of Arthur is
gleaned from various sources, including the Annales Cambriae,
the Historia Brittonum, and the writings of Gildas. Arthur's
name also occurs in early poetic sources such as Y Gododdin.
