King Arthur

I am studying the Anglo Saxons for a presentation on Christianity in East Anglia. I recently attended a talk on King Arthur. I would be interesting to have other people's input on the historical aspect of the Authurian legends and possibly any suggestions as where the supposed 12 battles actually took place.

From everything I've read and seen in documentary videos, chances are there was no Arthur and most of the stories originate from France. And reading Malory's LE MORTE D'ARTHUR gives one a whole different concept of knightly chivalry -- I seem to remember quite a few women being killed by knights in that? Or maybe I'm wrong, it's been well over a decade since I read it.
