King Arthur was a medieval ruler of what is today Britain.[2] Accounts of his life are legend in both the Muggle and wizarding worlds.[3]

Biography[]

Arthur ruled what is today Britain during the Middle Ages.[2] The Dark witch Morgan le Fay was his half-sister,[4] but his parentage is unknown,[5] as is whether he was a Muggle or not.

The great wizard Merlin was a key member of the Court of King Arthur.[2] The Knights of the Round Table were also an important part of the Court, and included Sir Lancelot, Sir Bedivere and Sir Percivale. Wizards and witches commonly hold that this order included a wizard, Sir Cadogan, who got the position by being a friend of Merlin. Tellings of the story of King Arthur differed between the Muggle and wizarding worlds, in that Sir Cadogan was included in wizarding versions, but absent in Muggle ones.[3]
