Morgause

Scott Ashley writes, “Malory shows…the foundations for future adventure and tragedy in telling of the king’s incestuous fathering of Mordred with his half sister, Morgause of Orkney”(9). Although Arthur does not know that the woman who he slept with was in his kin as stated by Malory, “But all this time King Arthur knew not that King Lot's wife was his sister” (164), the fact that he slept with her while being married…

The Wicked Day takes a stance on Mordred’s origins that provides innovens and relatability through his character while Morgause raised him(Stewart). That fear is shown when he overhears Morgause talking about potential doom to Mordred by Arthur’s calls. Mordred tries to hide many times before he finally confronts the King, but all the while showing that he isn’t some fearless demon. Furthermore, modern…

Mordred is a character in the Arthurian legend, he was King Arthur’s nephew, the son of Arthur’s sister Anna, and was born through accidental incest. King Arthur slept with his half sister Morgause and from that Mordred was born. Merlin, the wizard, predicts that Mordred will later ruin Arthur and his power and suggest that he put him out to sea. King Arthur, in an effort to kill Mordred, shipped him off on a boat that later crashed leaving Mordred alive. He was then found by a fisherman and…

Gwaine's eyes were wide, but he didn't dare look at the others. "What do you mean?" "He thinks that Morgause somehow captured the Red Dragon." Percival told him. "That is who he actually meant when he said 'she's here.'" He cast an apologetic smile at Clarissant. She felt a pang of embarrassment at her current state, even though she was confused by his…

"Hello, dear brother," she greeted with no real affection, no warmth in her tone. "It's been far too long." Her impudence was disgraceful she knew, and she smiled wickedly in the knowledge that Uther would be just as appalled as the look on Arthur's face. Rising with cool confidence, she sauntered toward the once-king. He would not take Camelot from her this time no matter how self-assured he may feel by his advancement thus far. They were by no means a match for her powers. Still, she stalled…

By doing this he needs find someone trustworthy to look after his kingdom while he is gone, he found none other than Mordred. Mordred is Arthur’s nephew and sometimes considered his illegitimate son through Arthur’s half sister Morgause. In Le Morte d'Arthur, during Arthur’s absence, Mordred crowns himself king and makes Guinevere his queen. “As Sir mordred was ruler of all England, he caused letters to be made... and called lords together, and there he made them chuse him king…

The Arthurian Legend is a collection of various stories which revolve around King Arthur, one of the legendary kings of Britain. These stories vary in their versions, interpretations, and spelling of names but their essences remain the same. They regale us with tales of the time prior to King Arthur’s conception to his rise to kinghood, tales of his adventures with his Knights of the Round Table, tales of the adulterous romance that occurred between his queen, Guinevere, and his knight and…

The Blank Hero: Arthurian Reflections of Societies throughout History When people invoke the name of Arthur, the hero of legend and myth, they often associate the name with King Arthur of Camelot, sitting around the round table along with his noble knights, Queen Guinevere, and mentor Merlin. However, Arthur was not always a King, nor did he have a round table or a magical druid that could see into the future to guide him. Instead, the Britain-hero Arthur is an example of an adaptation of a…

"However, unbeknownst to many of us, Uther had already secretly married a Norman princess, the Lady Ygraine du Bois." Merlin rolled his eyes and chuckled. It honestly didn't surprise him to find out that little tidbit of information. "How'd he get out of the arrangement with this other one, then?" "Well, that is where the tale becomes really fascinating. The man's niece was the Lady Vivienne." "Morgana's mother?" Gaius nodded solemnly. "Indeed. When Uther was approached after the…
