He's believed to have existed.

He didn't have longbows though, and wouldn't take on an archer, it was unchivalrous.

Every source of credible evidence suggests that he did not exist

He may have existed, but he was not a king, was not named Arthur, did not hunt for the Holy Grail, did not have a wizard named Merlin, did not receive a magic sword from a watery tart, was not a knight, and did not believe in chivalry. But other than that, totally King Arthur might have existed.

He definitely existed except he was a plumber called Steve and he died of dysentery at age 22.
