between a queen and a king. If she is not an obedient queen then the king is seen as weak.

Arthur was born as the result of a “magical” deception of Merlin, his Uncle (and the understood “Wizard of the Realm”). Morgan bemoaned that her father, the Duke of Cornwall, was killed so Arthur’s father, Uther Pendragon, could satiate his unbridled passion for Morgan’s mother, Igraine. Got all that?
