What was the empire of King Arthur called?

Answer 1

King Arthur is a legendary character, there is little evidence that he ever existed - despite this the Welsh Annals and Welsh Triads are a useful source of information. The legends suggest that if he did exist he was an British king (British in this case referring to the pre-Saxon dwellers of the land). Mythology refers to his castle being Camelot, but this is almost certainly a name given much later. If indeed Camelot did exist Cadbury Castle in Somerset is considered by some to be the most likely site of Arthur's base as excavations in the 60's and 70's showed re-fortification during the 5th/6th century and that it was used as a base by a powerful leader and his men.

Answer 2

"Camelot"

Arthur was not an Emperor, he was a King, and traditionally, he was the King of Britain (which is most of what we think of as England today). Hence the engraving on the stone in which the sword was placed "He who pulls this sword from this stone and anvil is rightwise King, born of ALL ENGLAND"

You have to understand that in pre-medieval Europe, there weren't large kingdoms like we think of today. Most "kingdoms" were small and fought hard to maintain their sovereignty from other kingdoms. Many wars were fought throughout Europe to unify these lands under a single banner (making it easier to take larger and larger areas of land, like the Romans did).

In England today, any land titled a "duchy" was an independent kingdom once. Traditionally, Arthur was the first British king to begin uniting other lords under his banner at Camelot, promising them all an equal say in how the kingdom was run (the round table). People we think of as "knights of the round" were actually vassal land holders that previously would have been lords or kings in their own right.
