Consider that 1) the musical is based on a novel written in the
20th century; 2) the novel was based on Le Morte d'Arthur, an
epic compiled several centuries before that, and 3) the actual
events are alleged to take place at the tag end of the Roman
Empire. In such a chronological hodgepodge it is pointless to
look for historical accuracy. In almost every case the creators
did what they felt would make for a good story, consistency and
historicity be damned.
