Who was the real Arthur and how must he have been different from Arthurian Legend?

Nearly every young man or young female in America has perceived of the Arthurian legend, which "concerns monarch Arthur of Briton, his realm, and the Knights of his inward circle."(Arthurian Legend) According to legend, King Arthur conveyed calm and happiness to his realm and was one of the utmost monarchs the world had ever known. Nonetheless, as large as he was, he was only a man and made a few mistakes. These mistakes eventually led to the downfall of his spectacular kingdom.

The legend of King Arthur is undoubtedly fictitious, but it may be founded on genuine historical events. Multiple chronicled individual features fit some of the descriptions of King Arthur; Ambrosius Aurelius (also known as Ambrosius Aurelianus) fits the characteristics of monarch Arthur perfectly. After reading the facts, it is evident that the origins of the Arthurian legend have roots in the life of Ambrosius Aurelius.

Ambrosius Aurelius was the second child of the Roman emperor Constantine. Being the child of a Roman emperor, Ambrosius Aurelius had much to reside up to. Throughout the ages, even Ambrosius Aurelius has legends founded on his achievements, such as those in the Historia Britonum, which notify of Ambrosius slaying dragons below his fortress.

The unification of the Britons after the decimation of their homeland was a battle in itself, and the beat of the Saxons at the assault of Badon high ground made Aurelius an icon of wish and security for the Britons; hence the elaborate tales of Arthur being an epic hero. It is ordered to deduce that the legend of King Arthur is based on the life of Ambrosius Aurelius due to the parallels between the fictitious life of Arthur and the factual life of Aurelius.

The story of monarch Arthur starts "when monarch Uther Pendragon falls in love with a wed woman, Ygraine."(Arthurian Legend) By using the illusion of Merlin, an absolutely vital feature in the legend, Uther alterations his look to that of Ygraine's husband. Thus Arthur is born. Later Ygraine's married man passes away and the two marry. By Merlin's order Arthur is taken from Ygraine and raised by Sir Hector as a squire to Sir Kay, Hectors child.

Moreover, the character that Aurelius depicts throughout the chronicled accounts is nearly flawlessly aligned with the traits that Arthur shows all through the legend. For example, a monk by the title of Saint Gildas composed of Arthur and the Saxon's destruction as they traveled through Britain:

The remnants (of the British)...take up arms, and challenge their victors to battle under Ambrosius Aurelianus. He was a man of ...
