I have been interested in folklore ever since I was a young child. My interest in the tale of King Arthur was triggered when I first viewed the classic film "Excalibur." From that moment on, the epic adventures of this hero has continued to tweak my curiosity. Did this person really exist? Could this character be a representation of someone important in ancient history? His existence has often been a topic of debate between scholars and modern historians. Throughout time King Arthur has been depicted as a great warrior and on the other hand as a majestic being of folklore. The story of Arthur, being fable or truth, has been a transcendent one. This 5th century king has a legend that has lived on throughout the centuries and is still popular today. Arthur continues to be a favorite subject in movies, books, and plays. This is possible because the Medieval Period provides a sense of mystery, fantasy, and adventure. These themes are epitomized by the legend of Arthur. Literature has seen many developments and new trends, but Arthur’s legacy has continued to remain relevant through these developments. The objective of this blog is to illustrate the importance of King Arthur and determine if he really existed.
