I know, I was conflating the two. If there was a Solomon (is there any evidence for that, I think there is just the David inscription?), then he was also some sort of minor leader, hence no temples.

IF Arthur actually was the leader at the Battle of Badon then there is a meaningful historical Arthur

Agreed, then there was a meaningful historical Arthur. But does this person then bear any meaningful relation, beyond the name, to the Arthur of legend?
