Jack Whyte wrote a series of Arthurian fiction. About the fall of the Romans in Briton and the making of a new order/civilization... leading to Arthur.

Should have read further down before commenting on that! I loved the genesis of Excalibur in that series.
I have Jack Whyte’s whole post Roman/Arthur series-it is a great read over and over-I like that it is not romanc-ey, no magical explanations of events, good historical portrayal of social conventions, military strategies, etc of the time-probably very close to the truth of who Arthur and his companions really were-post-Roman Britons who were soldiers and rulers-and just like others of that time, not chivalrous and sometimes downright brutal...
