Excalibur, Camelot, and the Grail: The Truth Behind King Arthur

From Camelot’s shining halls to the legendary sword Excalibur, the story of King Arthur has inspired generations. But was Arthur truly a king—or just a myth born from the struggles of post-Roman Britain?

Some historians argue he was based on a real warlord who fought Saxon invaders in the 5th or 6th century. Over time, poets and chroniclers transformed his tale into one of knights, quests, and the pursuit of the Holy Grail.

The Round Table itself became more than furniture—it was a symbol of equality and justice, where no knight sat above another. Names like Lancelot, Gawain, Percival, and Galahad still echo through history as ideals of courage and honor.
