Just a guy that struggled with right and wrong like we all do, but with lots of press.

Neither.

1) why do you say that? 2)what do you think he was?

[thehornedgod.livejournal.com]

Brutal Roman/Celtic tribal warlord who topped his own son. Amateur bard whose sharp tongue alienated his greatest and most valuable friend. Chief of a scruffy band of giants and dwindled divinities who spent their time rustling cattle, arguing with bouncers and breaking one another out of jail.

Good question, dear.
Although I cannot fully agree with any of the possible answers.

If I am only able to choose between the two I would say: infamous king, because I prefer the word infamous, not noble. Noble for me has a slightly weak sound (I know to be noble is great but well, can also mean to make stupid mistakes because you want to be noble on top of all)

Arthur made mistakes, indeed, but never stupid ones. He was noble but was able to be cruel and strong as well when needed.

I think the answer depends on which version of the legend you refer to. *winks*

Your Knight.

good answer.
you're right it completly depends on what "version" of the tale you choose to believe.
