Was King Arthur A Real Historical Person?A photo of a bronze statue of King Arthur on a barren cliff side facing the sea. There are grey clouds in the background and a sunset sky. The sculpture shows an older man with a beard shrouded in a hood with a crown on the outside. The sculpture has been crafted so that parts of the body and cloak are missing, revealing the landscape behind it. The figure is wearing armour and is resting his gauntleted hands on the pummel of a sword that extends to the ground.
