King Arthur ruled what is today Britain during the Early Middle Ages, often referred to as the Dark Ages, for the lack of solid, contemporary records and data.^[1] The Dark witch Morgan le Fay was Arthur's half-sister,^[2] and her enemy, the wizard Merlin, was a key 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 would make the person king of Britain.
