King Arthur
His name is synonymous with wisdom and fairness. The names of his wife, Guinevere, magician, Merlin, and knights are household words.
His sword, Excalibur, symbolizes righteous power. His capitol city, Camelot, is an icon for earthly perfection, and with all this, we still aren't sure that he ever actually lived.
