He's not real, ya know! - he's a fictional character. If he had been real, he would have been a priest of the druids.

The King Arthur you hear about isn't real either - but is probably based on a mixture of local warlord (6th century AD) and French legend.

For more about these stories, read Sir Thomas Malory's "Morte D'Arthur" and Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight (anon). These are where all the cartoons, and modern stories come from. They are both works of FICTION, based on older, FICTIONAL legends. Sir Gawaine is written in an ancient English dialect, so is quite difficult to follow. Malory is quite easy to read, and good fun. He wrote it while he was in prison in 1470.
