A king referred to as Ambrosias, Aurelianus, Artorius, and Arthur, he appears in many of the earliest histories of Britain. He is thought to have lived around the time of the Roman Empire. In my paper, I will research two of the most famous accounts that have helped skeptics to believe.

Several ancient scientists have mentioned him and scholars feel there is a strong case for truth somewhere in these ancient documents. Whether or not he existed is a point that is extensively argued. Separating fact from fiction has served problematic for years (Samson, 2002). Solving the many theories is impossible, and addressing each one would create a novel. This debate has raged since the Renaissance, and continues today. Some researchers are puzzled by the fact there is no historical basis to his character (Fishbaugh, 2002). Since the debates would be far too much to cover in one paper, I have decided to focus on the two that made the most sense to me from a plethora of sources. Both are of the highest regard in terms of their liability to historians.
One of the most studied and renounced historical documentation that researchers use to help uncover the mystery of Arthur deals with the invasion of Britain by barbarian tribes (Knox & Hammerstein, 2001). No one is exactly sure who recorded these documents but they are said to be one of the most reliable due to their accurate accounts. Around the fall of the Roman Empire, a barbaric tribe invaded Britain. The Saxons were a .
