Raja Arthur
Raja Arthur adalah raja legendaris dalam mitologi Inggris. Ia tinggal di Camelot dan memiliki pedang Excalibur.
Beberapa orang berpendapat Raja Arthur hidup pada akhir abad ke-5 sampai awal abad ke-6. Ia mungkin seorang raja maupun pemimpin bangsa Keltik di pulau Britania. Kemudian kisahnya berkembang dengan cerita-cerita tambahan seperti tukang sihir sahabat Arthur Merlin atau kesatria Sir Lancelot.
Banyak buku yang telah ditulis tentangnya. Salah satu yang terkenal ditulis oleh Sir Thomas Malory. Dalam beberapa film Arthur dianggap sebagai pahlawan karena berhasil mencabut pedang dari sebuah batu dan ajaibnya hanya dia yang bisa mencabutnya.
