King Arthur

What is Breton folktale for 250, Alex.
What is Robert de Boron for 500, Alex.

He is probably a folktale who originates from stories sub-roman Britons told about their kings. Over time they merged into one guy

Arthur is a mythical hero of dying Romano-British culture fighting for its life against Germanic barbarians. He was supposed to represent the strength and unity real Celts lacked.

He was probably based on some notable Roman governor/commander prior to Saxon invasion.

Any good documentaries or summaries on the development of the legend?

Just read the stories from Chrétien de Troye. He's the one who started everything with Yvain, Lancelot, Tristan & Iseult and the Holy Grail.

Anything before him is too old and undocumented, and everything later is just a bunch of storytellers (poorly) filling in the holes from de Troye's story.
