Britain is the island the first king of Britain was James VI of Scotland/I of England in 1603 First of all, whoever was "the first king" is irrelevant, both because Arthur is not (always) called "The First King of X", and because his very existence beyond tales is questioned even to this day.

Second of all, Arthur is, more properly, King of Britain than King of England, especially given the earliest traditions of his tales, where he fought the Anglo-Saxons who named England "England" to Britain, and his kingdom encompassed Brittany.
