It has been alluded to but what is interesting about these stories is finding out what the initial seed was, the grain of truth.
I am totally happy for someone putting forward the case for AN Arthur, an Arthur figure or possibly figures if there is some ancient, text, inscription, drawing, painting, engraving or other archaeology to support it.
Absolutely not wanting to go off topic but this is also interesting for Biblical figures, a kernel of truth behind a fantastic story.
Perhaps a stout chap called Noah managed to save his family by floating on a stable roof when the Euphrates burst it's banks? Then combine that was the Gilgamesh story that was widely popular via oral tradition at that time?
I am not an historian and there is no evidence of my invention, I am just giving a possible scenario for a Moses, or Noah, Robin hodd and Arthur.
