Definitions:

(1) (King Arthur)
mythical British king of medieval stories who rules at Camelot and leads the Knights of the Round Table

King Arthur may or may not be based on a real historical leader, but the stories about him are mainly legend. Medieval writers describe him as a brave and noble king who defends Britain, carries the magical sword Excalibur, and gathers honorable knights at a round table that symbolized equal honor and rank.

Arthurian tales often include quests for the Holy Grail, tests of loyalty and courage, and tragic love stories such as that of Lancelot and Guinevere. Over time, King Arthur has become a symbol of chivalry, idealized leadership, and a lost "golden age" that people remember with longing.
