In The Sword in the Stone, he lives in Sir Ector's Castle in the Forest Sauvage with Kay, Ector, and others. In the rest of the books, he lives with his wife Guenever, Sir Lancelot, the Orkneys, and the other Round Table members.
Young Arthur bursts into tears when Kay and Sir Ector humbly kneel before him because he is overwhelmed with emotion at the realization of his true identity as the rightful heir to the throne. This moment symbolizes the weight of responsibility and destiny that Arthur must now embrace as the future King of England.
Sir Ector and some think Merlin raised him. Merlin did not raise Arthur. Merlin helped Uther quench his lust for Igraine and therefore conceive Arthur but for a price. Merlin told Uther he would help if Uther consented to give up the child that would be conceived in that union. Uther of course said yes--never mind what Igraine, the mother might feel, but this was a different time from ours! Merlin knew the child--Arthur--was special and assured Uther that the babe would be raised by a man of honor--Ector.
