Legendary king of the Britons (6)
I believe the answer is:
arthur
'legendary king of the britons' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for arthur that I've seen before include "Camelot's king" , "Legendary king of Camelot." , "Owner of Excalibur" , "Dudley Moore film" , "Husband of Guinevere" .)
