well, I dont' think a "historical King Arthur" ever existed melambra - 19/04/2004 02:06:29 PM

Sure, it's a war leader named some variant of Arthur, but there were probably a *bunch* of those. "Military commander named Arthur" isn't the same thing as a Historical Arthur, in my opinion.
There are only (several?)obscure figures transformed along by the legend in "King Arthur"
