Yup, in the universe of the fate series, Aturia (female Arthur pretending to be a man to fill the role of king, with only her closest friends and advisors knowing the truth) and marries Guinevere, a close friend, so Camelot has a queen.
She learns of the love between Lancelot and Guinevere, and allows it to continue as long as it's secret as she sees the real love between them, but things go bottoms up when the affair that Arturia was pretending not to be aware of goes public.
Tragic for all involved.
Also, supposedly there's magic stuff at play that makes Mordred, and a LOT of other stuff, because the "original" legends (in their altered forms) are just background for the fate stories.

IMO, the less Galahad we get the better unless someone does a good job wiping the Sue-ness off him. Gwain, Tristain, and some of the other knights of the round table would be nice to see more of though.
There's some nice story that can be done with Arthur, Gwain, Merlin, and Morgan if both the latter stick to their pegan versions over the change from the old pegan ways. Arthur in some versions of the tales embodies the change from older pegan ways to a new religion and society, and the ways and reasons each react to that could be explored a fair bit.
You can make a lot of stories around little 3-4 character sets around a theme, but then all the stories center around Arthur as he ties all the stories together. Then, you can have a narrative over all of them of how both how powerful a group built around a great leader can be, but also how fundamentally fragile such a structure can be when it all comes crashing down.
