poems, symbols, and historical texts. Arthur’s popularity has dominated
literature for over 800 years. Some people believe he was myth and others

have been told, but a story can be proven to be false. There are countless variations
of styles, versions, and languages written about King Arthur. Arthur’s legend
has traveled through many origins over the centuries. Such origins include the
Welsh, Celtic, Arabian, and Italian. It is believed that Arthur lived during
the dark ages and was also named Rithoamus (high king). According to the encyclopedia
of Arthurian legends, Arthur was not a medieval king. Based on some beliefs, he
was a fifth century chieftain who protected his people. Arthur goes through
many changes. Mostly hailed as a heroic King, he is also depicted as a monarch
and in some cases an ordinary man. In most legends he is said to be the son of
Uther Pendragon, but some historical findings name him as the son of Aidan. The
validity of his existence has occupied the minds of many of those you are
fascinated with his legend. It has been debated since the Renaissance and
continues to be debated today.
