Unfortunately not. There is no proof that he ever existed. There is no place in history to place him. Did he wear full body armour, then he would have been around the middle ages, but all the Kings and Queens have been noted. Was he around earlier, then it would have to be after the Romans had left Britain, but again, all the Kings and Queens of that period have been noted. There might be a smidgen of fact, but he would more than likely have been a small King either in Cornwall or the South of Wales, as "Kings" were in charge of small areas, which eventually became Counties. It wasn't until around the 10th Centuary that Britain was under one King. As for Merlin, sorry, but "magic" that was used by him does not exist. Thus....
King Arthur is a legend whose origins are lost in the mists of time. Many of the stories about him and his knights were simply made up by French troubadors during the Middle Ages. Some stories about him bear some resemblance to actual historical events of the 5th through 7th centuries. The ultimate man behind the myth, the historical figure to whose life all later legendmaking was eventually added, may have been a 5th century Romano-British leader known to history as Riothomus. That name however is more likely a title (it means something like Supremely Royal) rather than a personal name. What the man's actual name was is not recorded. It could have been something like Artorius.
The stories are absolutely real. I have read several, myself.
The character of King Arthur, and the notion of the Round Table is a mythical legend, and is not so much 'fake' as it is 'created' by the minds of people centuries ago.
The King Arthur that we know from the stories of Camelot and the Knights of the Round Tables is a work of fiction. There have been historical investigatons into the origins of the Arthur legend, suggesting the possibility of Arthur being a king or chieftain of a peoples of Ancient Britons.
Many years ago there was a British TV series called Arthur Of The Britons (1972), and this was suggested to be more like the kind of king Arthur was. It has also been suggested that he was Romano British, as can be seen in the recent film about King Arthur, starring Clive Owen.
There are many, many internet sites regarding Arthur, where you can find discussion on these theories.

What time did king arthur lived in?
King Arthur is a legendary king and did not exist.
Who did King Arthur fight with in the story of King Arthur and his knights?
If you're talking about the real life King Arthur, the only battle that people can decide conclusively that he fought in was the Battle of Badon Hill, where he defeated the Saxons. The battle at the end of the King Arthur film from 2004 is based on that battle. However, we really don't know that much about Arthur from history, as there isn't much archeology supporting his existence. Most scholars don't even think he was a king, but rather a war leader who brought peace to his area for close to half a century. If you were talking about the fantasy Arthur, then I can't really help you.
How is King Arthur an inaccurate portrayal of events from the middle ages?

Is King Arthur and knights of the round table a story?
Probably. The majority of the stories are probably made up, but there is evidence of a King Arthur of Britain. There is also Round Table at Winchester in England. In the loosest sense, yes it is a story, because a story can be fact or fiction, it is still considered a story.

What time did king arthur lived in?
King Arthur is a legendary king and did not exist.
The knights of King Arthur is it a fiction or not?
There is some evidence for a historical King Arthur, but he was not a king of all Britain, did not have knights in armour (armour as we usually think of it was long after Arthur's time), and certainly never had a Sir Lancelot in his menyie. (Lancelot seems originally to have been a different story from Arthur, the two got mixed in together sometime in the middle ages). So the story of King Arthur is fictional, though it may have a very slight basis in fact. The same is true of the legend of Wyatt Earp when you look into it. Wyatt Earp was a real person, and really was involved in a gunfight at the OK Corrall - but most of the Wyatt Earp story apart from that is pure hokum.
