This is what I imagine King Arthur looks like

For that being the legenrery King Arthur Pendragon of Albion, the armor and sword are really anachronistic. Full plate armor wasn't used before the 14th century and wasn't common before the 15th. Even part-plate you would have to look at the 11th century at the earliest. Romans had segmented plate armor that looks significantly different, and the breast plates worn by officers in the Roman Army they copied from the Greek weren't adapted to other armies until much later. The only time King Arthur could have lived IRL in theory would be the 4th to 6th century. A time where the armors were gambeson out of multiple layers of linen or wool, chain mail, or lammelar/scale armor. So King Arthur wears armor from 500 years in the future.
Same with the sword. Swords like that were used in 15th century Germany and France. (Perhaps Britain too. It's likely, but I am not 100% sure)
