It was determined that a Female main character with a Male Servant wouldn’t sell as well as a Male main character with a Female Servant. So once that was settled on the easiest thing to do was to just swap the genders, and so bam, female King Arthur is born.

But when his adulterous affair with Guinevere is discovered, it causes a civil war that is exploited by Mordred to end Arthur’s kingdom….

Unfortunately, however, Lancelot also fell in love with Queen Guinevere. Some of Lancelot’s knightly feats had to do with Guinevere. She tricked Lancelot into sleeping with her, pretending that she was Guinevere. Elaine bore Lancelot’s son, Galahad, who grew into a pure and sinless knight.

King Arthur (アーサー王, Āsā-Ō?), the legendary King of Knights who controlled Britain is portrayed as several different distinct characters in the Nasuverse: Artoria Pendragon – The female version of King Arthur. Arthur Pendragon – The male version of King Arthur.

Although most scholars regard it as being entirely fictional, there are many locations that have been linked with King Arthur’s Camelot. Camelot was the name of the place where King Arthur held court and was the location of the famous Round Table. The earliest reference to Arthur is in a poem dating from around AD 594.

While Girflet and Lucan fought off and drove Mordred’s men from battlefield, Mordred and Arthur faced one another. Arthur ran Mordred through with his lance. Dying, Mordred gave Arthur a mortal wound to the head with his sword.

A MEDIEVAL sword found embedded in a rock at the bottom of a Bosnian river is being hailed as ‘Excalibur’. The 700-year-old weapon is being compared to King Arthur’s legendary magical sword because of similarities in how it was discovered. It was found 36 feet underwater embedded in solid rock.

Lancelot was definitely better than all the others. Where Arthur falls in the list isn’t really clear because he doesn’t do much that is knightly once he becomes king. He’s too busy running the kingdom. Lancelot would definitely be considered the greatest knight, followed by Gawain, in terms of prowess.

It is unknown exactly how old King Arthur was when he died. Most estimations place him between 35 and 50, while some are closer to 75.

Arthur traditionally had three children in Welsh tradition, including Amr, whose story resembles Mordred’s, while Mordred (Medraut) is not Arthur’s child in Welsh legend.

These two themes were developed further in the great 13th-century Vulgate cycle, or “Prose Lancelot.” According to this, after the death of his father, King Ban of Benoic, Lancelot was carried off by the enchantress Vivien, the Lady of the Lake, who in time sent him to Arthur’s court.

The Historia Regum Britanniae explains that when Merlin died he was “400 Summers his Lord” (His Lord would be Arthur and Arthur died in his 40’s to 60’s). So we can assume that Merlin was around 440-460 years old. However his character was based on Myrddin Wyllt. Myrddin died at the age of 39.

As of 2018, Merlin and Arthur had a confirmed romantic relationship by the end of the series. Most notably, the showrunner confirms that Merlin and Arthur did indeed grow to love each other by the end of the series, calling it a “pure” love. “We did, very genuinely, think of the episode as a love story between two men.

Guinevere cheats on her husband because she falls madly, passionately, desperately in love with Sir Lancelot. It is her role to be the femme fatale in the Arthurian canon. Its also very much in keeping with the medieval concept of courtly love.

According to the Great Dragon, Merlin’s birth had been prophesied by many cultures. The Druids, for example, referred to him as “Emrys” (The Beginning of the End). Life could be difficult in a village as small and isolated as Ealdor.

Old Merlin, otherwise known as Emrys, is Merlin’s alter ego. The young warlock uses an aging spell to transform himself into an old man and must take a potion to transform back to his young self. Morgana is terrified of the aging warlock as she knows him to be her doom.

As Merlin went to lift the rock a slew of monstrous rocks collapsed on top of Merlin, thus dooming Merlin to the grave. Vivien had now betrayed Merlin to his death and was now the most powerful wizard in all of the land. These events will come to have a dramatic impact on the great King Arthur.

The first season aired in 2008. Bradley James, who plays Arthur, was born in 1983, making him 25 at the beginning of the show. Colin Morgan, who plays Merlin, was born in 1986, making him 22 at the beginning of the show. By this logic Arthur is 29 and Merlin is 26 at the end of season five.

But the way the series narrated story kind of upsetting. Merlin failed his quests and destiny as he ignored the dragon’s warning about Morgana and Mordred and the alliance between them. In this way, it won’t be so bad even Arthur died in the end as Merlin already accomplished his quest & destiny.

The decision to end the show with Arthur’s death He also reveals that their plan had been to kill Arthur all along – even back when the show served as a prequel to the legends as opposed to telling the legends themselves. “What we decided to do was to tell the legend how it was in many ways,” Murphy says.
