The prevailing theory is that he's based very loosely on a real person (an ancient Welsh king), but the version we have is after medieval poets worked on the story a fair bit.

So what you think of as King Arthur never existed as a real person, and likewise the rest of the story (if you want to consider it one story). Cobbled together out of bits and pieces of folklore and oral history to make something that resonates.

He's a representation of the old druid ways. It's a connection to their ancestral ways to the new, forced Christian way.

Christianity has always modified itself to adapt and take over a culture.
