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"):

The Black Moon, Book One, Chapter 6, Part 2

‘If you will show us this well, Mr Carne; that I’m sure will be a kindness.’ At the top he took them across a small green platform to a cliff of overhanging rock. Raised a foot from the ground by its rocky sides was a pool of water about four feet across. ‘This is it,’ said Drake. ‘Tis fresh water –taste –though so near the sea, and they d’say twas consecrated by St Sawle more’n a thousand year gone and twas used by all the early Christian pilgrims walking ‘long the coast from one monastery to the next. Taste, tis pure water.’ … ‘It’s lovely water,’ said Geoffrey Charles. ‘Taste it, Wenna.’ She tasted. ‘Um.’ ‘It is a wishing well too, or so they d’say. What you must do, … is put the first finger of your right hand deep in the water and make three crosses with it, saying “Father, Son, Holy Spirit” and then you get your wishes granted.’ ‘It’s sacrilegious,’ said Morwenna. ‘Oh, no. Oh no tis not, begging your pardon, Miss Chynoweth. It’s a holy place just so much as a church. Don’t we ask for things in church? I do. You do, Master Geoffrey.’ ‘Yes, yes, surely, I shall wish. Show me. Do you say it aloud?’ ‘Only the prayer, not the wish. See, this way.’ Drake rolled up his sleeve, dipped his finger and hand into the well, glanced quickly at Morwenna. Then he made his three crosses, saying ‘Father, Son, Holy Spirit’, hastily withdrew his hand but did not shake the drops off it. ‘You must let it dry,’ he said. Geoffrey Charles, much intrigued, soon followed, and then pestered Morwenna to do the same. At first she refused but presently gave way. She put in her hand, finger extended, thought a moment, then made the three crosses and muttered the prayer. As she leaned over, her hair fell about her face, showing through it gleams of cheek and curve of ear. ‘No, not yet!’ said Geoffrey Charles, ‘You must let it dry!’ They all stood in silence. ‘How foolish we must all look,’ said Morwenna quietly. ‘I am sure the old monks would not consider us suitable pilgrims, making our flippant wishes at this well.’ ‘Mine was not flippant,’ said Drake. ‘Nor mine!’ said Geoffrey Charles. ‘It is hardly flippant to ask for—’ He stopped just in time, and they all laughed.
