Not all the Knights of the Round Table were British or even European. The Middle Eastern knight Sir Palamedes was a rival of Sir Tristan for Iseult in the Arthurian romances, and he was featured in "Le Morte d'Arthur" as one of King Arthur's noblest champions.

Among the old British Celts, a newborn prince would often be given to another family to raise until he became an adult. In some early King Arthur stories, Arthur is raised by the fairies. In later stories, he's instead raised by Sir Ector, the father of Kay (Arthur's best friend).
