Was King Arthur the first king of England?

Answer 1

In Malory's Morte d'Arthur, King Uther held a great feast at his court. Gorlois, the Duke of Cornwall, attended with his wife, Igraine. Uther saw she was beautiful and wanted to take her to bed. Igraine refused Uther's advances and told her husband. She convinced Gorlois to take her home so she wouldn't be dishonored by Uther. This angered Uther and he went to war against Gorlois, beseiging his stronghold at Tintagel. seduced Lady Igraine and All through the seige, Uther was hot in lust for the woman and called for Merlin. Merlin said he would help if Uther promised to give him something in return. Of course Uther promised: anything! Through Merlin's magic, Uther and several men are transformed into the likeness of Gorlois and several of the duke's men. Disguised, they were able to enter the fortress at Tintagel. Uther went straight to Igraine. She was surprised to see her husband there at that hour but . . . Arthur was conceived that night. Merlin knew that Arthur would be special, so he asks for the child, promising that he would take the baby to a trusted man to raise in secret. The baby is born and Merlin takes him to Sir Ector. and raised him when they had the Sir Ector raises the boy, not knowing who Arthur's parents really are. Years late, Uther dies seemingly without an heir. Through a miracle (or Merlin's magic) the sword in the stone appears in a courtyard. A great tournament is held to see who can draw the sword and therefore become King. The rest is history, Arthur pulls the sword from the stone. At first he's contested but eventually the majority of the people concede and proclaim Arthur as their King. then every one knew he was the rightful king of Britain

Answer 2

No, the legendary Arthur (Arthurus Rex Britannia) was a Romano-British king. He fought the Anglo-Saxons, which were the early English.

The story of King Arthur is a legend, which means that, although it might have elements of truth, it cannot be verified. No one is sure whether or not the ever was a King Arthur or whether another king was the model for the story.

The first Anglo-Saxon kings are generally lost in time. However it is easier to look for the first King of a united England. In 827 AD Egbert of Wessex briefly was king of a united England. However in 886 AD King Alfred became 'King of the Anglo-Saxons', except those under Danish rule. King Alfred, not Arthur, is generally seen as the first King of England.
