The real King Arthur.

[irishdancer13.livejournal.com]

My brother saw the new King Arthur movie. He came home and said, "One day I'm going to make a movie about the true King Arthur." I was like, "OK you go do that." He goes, "Yeah, the true King Arthur was a Saxon leader in Britain." I gave him a look of incredulity and yelled, "A SAXON LEADER!!!" I then realized I really don't know much about the historical Arthur or anything. For all I know my little brother could be right, though it seems highly unlikely to me. I know that most of the legends are not true, though I'd love to believe them.

So what I'm trying to ask is could someone enlighten me on the theroy(ies) about the historical King Arthur or lead me in the direction of books about him? Thank you in advance to all that do.
