King Arthur ruled what is today Britain during the Middle Ages.[1] The Dark witch Morgan le Fay was Arthur's half-sister,[2] and her enemy, the wizard Merlin, was a member of his Court.[1]

Arthur is assumed to have been a Muggle. There is no knowledge that he ever performed any type of magic or had any drop of magical blood in his veins. King Arthur was also well known for pulling a sword out of a stone which if taken will make the person king of Britain.
