King Arthur is an important figure in the mythology of Great Britain, where he appears as the ideal of kingship in both war and peace. He is the central character in the cycle of legends known as the Matter of Britain. There is disagreement about whether Arthur,or a model for hime ever actually existed
The historicity of the Arthur of legend has long been debated by scholars. One school of thought is that Arthur was a Romano-British leader who lived sometime in the late 5th century to early 6th century and fought against the invading Saxons. Other writers suggest that King Arthur should be identified as one Lucius Artorius Castus, a Roman dux of the 2nd century, whose military exploits in Britain may have been remembered for centuries afterwards. Another theory proposes that the real Arthur was Artur Mac Aidan, a war leader of the Scots and Brythons. By this theory, Artur was predominantly active in the region between the Roman walls — the Gododdin. Artur was never "king" per se, but rather the son of the Scottish king Aidan Mac Gabran, who ruled from about 574 AD. Another school of thought believes that Arthur had no historical existence, explaining that he originally was a half-forgotten Celtic deity that devolved into a personage.

Curiously we have a legend here in Portugal that say that our King D. Sebastião, who disappeared in a battle in Alcácer-Quibir (Morocco) in the 16th century, will reappear in a foggy morning. It's a story of hope in an unexpected, forgotten savior (maybe our myth-makers took some inspiration from the British legend.). After all we lost our independence in 1580 to the Spanish crown, because D. Sebastião had left no successors, and only regained it in 1640.
