It has often been stated that a belief in King Arthur's return was commonly held among twelfth and thirteenth-century insular and continental Britons. Nevertheless, the medieval sources used as evidence seem to repeat a stereotype, rather than report an objective fact. Examination of other literary and historical sources (medieval Welsh literature, historical studies on Wales and Brittany, studies on messianic movements) do not show that this belief was significant outside of Arthurian fiction. Who believes in Arthur's return ? Always someone else.
