Eric Luttrell | King Arthur (Part 3 of 3): The History behind the Legend (?) @ericluttrell | Uploaded April 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This lecture describes the earliest written evidence for King Arthur. This evidence is limited to a few brief references to a battle between Britons and Saxons and someone named Arthur who was a battlefield commander but not a king. This doesn't leave us with much evidence for the Arthur we know from literature, but that's how narrative works.
