Most legends always made Morgana out to be evil, but here, I truly feel for her. She KNEW that wasn't her father that night. Also, that was a really sick trick Merlin and Uther played on Igraine. Especially since Igraine thought it was the spirit of her husband coming to visit her that night. Nope, just a sick individual lusting over her.

Just a note, Brittany isn't Britain, its a region of France; the Romans called it Armorica. Although it was culturally Brythonic, since it was basically a refuge for Celts fleeing the Saxons

10 years ago I read Mary Stewart's Merlin trilogy...and then her Mordred sequel...and then the weird Holy grail spinoff. Anyway, I loved them so much, and she had an interesting take on this story that, like the general theme of her version of Arthur, tried to be grounded in realism. If any Arthur fans have never read her books, they should.

Over the centuries a large amount of ink has been expended trying to find an actual historical Arthur. This is largely due to the only near contemporary account of Britons fighting Saxons (written by Gildas) not mentioning him. However there is a body of Welsh medieval literature that portrays Arthur, not as a mortal man fighting Germanic invaders, but as a supernatural guardian figure of Britain who moves in a world of gods, magical cauldrons and fantastical adventures. In Caitlin R Green's book 'Concepts of Arthur' this line of enquiry is followed and she makes a compelling argument for him originally being a mythical figure turned later into a human king. One poem in that literature 'Preiddeu Annwfn' (Spoils of the Otherworld) is one of the most cryptic, mystical pieces you will ever read.

From author to poet
the tales are never the same,
some write he's ferocious,
some pen he's sincere.
One thing in our story of
this hero knight king,
he is a noble just leader
that's perfectly clear.

So everyone's just gonna ignore how evil Uther was?

[lewisgraham]

I never heard this part of the backstory. Uther was always shown to be an honorable king from what I have seen. No wonder Morgana has such a strong hatred for Arthur. Interesting to see everything wasn't so black and white and history repeats itself in a sense with the Arthur Lancelot and Guinevere love triangle.

Those story is better than every Netflix original ever made. Man I was there for every moment.

I absolutely love the Arthurian Legends and can't wait to see more. The way you describe them is amazing!
Then again I am greatly unfluenced by Fate but, I really look forward to seeing the rest.

So we all read about Arthur just because Uther fought a war against his duke for a fricking woman .

[rayparenteau]

All the channels videos are great (and have been for years), but there's something special happening lately. Keep em coming 🤙

[BrianMarrino]

So far so good. Please continue the Arthurian Saga from what you are recalling. It's my most favorite legend out of all

[dwightlangston]

Wow! What an amazing backstory. I definitely see the greek hero elements in it. Arthur's father uther was a terrible person.

[LacertaZilla]

So this is King Arthur’s origin story i must say I’m amazed to learn about it

[kamikaze]

Britain = The Island.
Brittany = A place in northwest France.
