Was King Arthur a real person?

by Howard_duck1

I’d assume he is because it’s not often that a story comes to light with no inspiration, but given any data and information historians have if he was a real how similar was he in real life to how he is portrayed in movies, shows, etc. also if his associates were real too how different are they portrayed from what histories have gathered on them as well?

Sometimes a lot of people want to ask a question, and there's just no source material to answer it. I'm not a medievalist, but King Arthur might be the most outstanding example.
