King Arthur Real?
I believe that during the Dark Ages there was a King Arthur. It’s just that the Dark Ages are pretty much lost to history except a record that states a man named Arthur was a great warrior thus showing he was real just during a time where history draws a blank. 75.97.52.227 (talk) 03:41, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- When the Romans left Britain people were illiterate for several hundred years. There's no written history from this time frame. 24.51.192.49 (talk) 00:35, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- The Dark Ages never really existed. The Ecclesiastical History of the English People (731) is our oldest detailed source on Anglo-Saxon history, and the De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae (c. 530s) gives at least a biased Christian look of political life in Sub-Roman Britain. There is no real indication of a loss of literacy, and nearby Ireland was producing Hiberno-Latin texts by the 6th century. Dimadick (talk) 06:15, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- Yep, and none of these sources mention Arthur.--Jack Upland (talk) 04:01, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Importance of Chrétien de Troyes
His finished and unfinished works are important, but Chrétien de Troyes did not begin any genre. Readily available books on the subject, such as those available at other Wikipedia sites (e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Ritual_to_Romance) provide ample evidence of weakness of this paragraph. Trewin (talk) 06:47, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
- From Ritual to Romance is very dated. It is not a WP:RS. Dudley Miles (talk) 08:22, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
One citation for evidence of King Arthur as a real person, and a reference to legend.
1. In 516 A.D. King Arthur was coronated as King in England, and this event was attended by all the archbishops, bishops and abbots of the country. In addition to this event, there was a Catholic Church Council: St Dubritius resigned his archiepiscopal seat of Caer-leon to David in order to lead a hermit's life. Reference: Church Councils A to N, A manual of councils of the Holy Catholic Church : Landon, Edward H. (Edward Henry), -1877 : www.archive.org, (How to find the reference, turn to page 250, Look for England, 516 A.D.
- The source is unclear and obviously unreliable. Dudley Miles (talk) 08:50, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
2. According to legend, Dubricius crowned King Arthur. Reference: Dubricius - Wikipedia Historyghecko (talk) 08:28, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

"Morris's" is incorrect; simply delete the second s. I have already ctrl+f checked the page and the only instance of this error is under "historicity", several paragraphs down. 2A02:C7F:662E:5000:8D2:23BF:C2C7:205C (talk) 03:26, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- Not done: My reading of MOS:POSS is that Morris's is correct.
For the possessive of singular nouns, including proper names and words ending in s, add 's
