Raja Arthur

Raja Arthur adalah raja legendaris dalam mitologi Britania Raya. Ia tinggal di Camelot dan memiliki pedang Excalibur.

Beberapa orang berpendapat Raja Arthur hidup pada akhir abad ke-5 sampai awal abad ke-6. Ia mungkin seorang raja maupun pemimpin bangsa Keltik di pulau Britania. Kemudian kisahnya berkembang dengan cerita-cerita tambahan seperti tukang sihir Merlin atau ksatria Sir Lancelot.

Banyak buku yang telah ditulis tentangnya. Salah satu yang terkenal ditulis oleh Sir Thomas Malory.
