In a tribute to the late Queen, Victoria’s opposition leader Matthew guy included King Arthur in his examples of notable British monarchs who preceded Elizabeth II.
Speaking in the Victorian Legislative Assembly, Guy looked back at the long history of the British monarchy. But King Arthur is regarded by most historians as being fictional.
The state Liberal leader has since said he misspoke and was meant to say Alfred instead of Arthur. This is reflected in the hansard, where the transcript of the speech has been amended.
