Attempts to identify the historical Arthur have been unsuccessful, since he is largely a product of fiction. Most historians, though, agree that the real Arthur was probably a battle leader of the Britons against the Anglo-Saxons in the sixthth century. In literature, King Arthur's character is unique and ever changing, taking on a different face in every work. There is never a clearly definitive picture that identifies Arthur's character.

The story of King Arthur is one that has fascinated schoolchildren and adults alike for many years. Children (and, admittedly, many adults as well) adore the action and adventure found in the tales and delight in the sheer romance of it all. The story of an idyllic kingdom with the most glorious king in the world and his noble knights going on adventures is one that has appealed to audiences for a very long time. However, some adults are more interested in the legends not for the storybook aspects of it, but for the historical basis. It isn’t known who the “real” Arthur was, where he came from, or even whether he actually existed or not, but this hasn’t stopped people from looking.
