I think there's not enough emphasis on the fact that the time where Arthurian Era is set (the late 5th/early 6th century) is also the time of the British Saints.
There are many miracle-working saints that have interacted with the Camelot gang. Dubricius, Illtud, Dewi, Gildas, etc. have all met Arthur.
There is also a number of female saints, both in Britain and in Britanny, that lived in this time period. You have St. Dwynwen, the various daughters of Brychan (who have founded churches and monasteries!), and St. Gwen Teirbron ("thrice-breasted"):
