   • Early writings portray Arthur as a warrior, not a king. The writings of ninth-century Welsh monk Nennius first refer to a 5th-century warrior named Arthur leading an army to fight against invading Saxons.
   • The King Arthur legend first appeared in a 12th-century text. The figure of King Arthur became popular after 1136, around the time Geoffrey Monmouth wrote the Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain), which claimed to chart the history of the British monarchy.
   • Famous stories from the King Arthur myth include “The Sword in the Stone.” One of the most famous associations with King Arthur is his sword, Excalibur.
   • We still don’t know where Camelot was located. Historians have tried to identify where King Arthur’s mythical kingdom of Camelot was supposed to be set.
