1 Arthurian Legend

2

3 Locations: Camelot & Avalon Camelot is a mythical castle and land that is ruled by the Pendragon family. It also refers to any ruler that is too good to be true Avalon is a nearby island that has many mythical legends. The women of Avalon are a covet of witches. For the most part, they are good witches. Merlin s mother was one of the witches. Excalibur, the Pendragon family sword, was forged at Avalon and first emerged from the Lady of the Lake.

4 Igraine Morgause Gorlios Elaine of Garlot Morgan le Fay

5 Gorlois s enemy is Uther Pendragon, a strong king and a defender of the people. Victoria Weiss Moorpark High School Uther Uther s advisor is Merlin, the wizard. Merlin

6 One night, Merlin has a dream where he sees a two dragons: a white one and a red one. The white one kills the red one. Victoria Weiss Moorpark High School

7 Merlin interprets the dream to mean that Uther, the white dragon, must kill his enemy Gorlios. Gorlios Uther

8 Uther, through circumstances and Victoria Weiss Moorpark High School Merlin s help, tricks Lady Igraine, and lays with her. This very night Uther's troops dispatch on Gorlois and kill him. Uther Gorlios Igraine

9 Igraine delivers a son exactly nine months later. They name the boy Arthur. Uther & Igraine marry. Merlin becomes Arthur s advisor.

10 Morgan le Fay Victoria Weiss Moorpark High School Angry about her father s murder and mother s infidelity, Morgan le Fay puts a curse on Uther and baby Arthur. Uther Arthur

11 Knowing that Arthur s life is in peril, Merlin smuggles the one-year old child off to the country to be raised by Sir Hector and be taught at a church abbey. Merlin Arthur

12 Uther One year later, when Arthur is only two, Uther dies in a battle. Once he was mortally wounded, Uther drives Excalibur into a stone. Only his son, the true king, will be able to remove it.

13 When Arthur is 16, Merlin puts into motion his plan for Arthur to gain his rightful place as king of Camelot.

14 Arthur accompanies his half brother Kay to a jousting tournament at Canterbury. Arthur is supposed to bring the sword. However, he realizes that he has forgotten it. There is not time to return the country for the sword

15 coincidentally, just then he passes a large stone with a sword sticking out of it. How fortunate! He quickly grabs the sword and takes it to the tournament.

16 Little did he know that the sword was Excalibur and he was the true king. Hundreds of men had unsuccessfully tried to pry the sword from the stone to be acclaimed as King.

17 Arthur takes his rightful place as King of Camelot

18 Arthur is a fair and just ruler. His knights gather around a round table to signify their equity to him.

19 Sir Lancelot is Arthur s number one trusted knight and friend. Lancelot

20 Morgan le Fay Victoria Weiss Moorpark High School Morgan le Fay s decides it is time for her move against Arthur Morgan arranged for Arthur s dinner drink to be drugged. She sent her sister, Morgause Arthur s half sister, to lay with him. Nine months later, Mordred was born

21 Arthur and Morgause do not know that they are committing incest. Morgause is told that she conceived a child with her brother during her pregnancy, she tries to abort the pregnancy. Morgan le Fay prevents the abortion. Morgause has a difficult time loving her son/nephew and is cold to him throughout his childhood.

22 Mordred is raised in the country with Gawain, Morgause s first and favored son. Mordred Gawain

23 Meanwhile, in Camelot Arthur doesn t know about his son He falls in love and marries Guinevere.

24 Gawain travels to Camelot to join the Knights of the Round Table.

25 In his most famous adventure, Gawain battles a Green Knight.

26 Guinevere and Arthur cannot conceive a child. Arthur assumes it is his fault, because his wife is perfect. So, he convinces his most trusted friend/brother to lay with his wife. The plan backfires when Lancelot and Guinevere fall in love with each other. Arthur does not know this. Good news = a child is not conceived.

27 Mordred is finally told of his lineage and travels to Camelot to meet his father. Arthur welcomes his son, and trusts him completely.

28 However, Mordred hates his father for abandoning him, and devises a plan to ruin Arthur. He tells Arthur about Lancelot and Guinevere (gaining more trust) Arthur leaves Camelot to recover & names Mordred as temporary king. Mordred gains the respect of the people and builds a rebel army to over throw Arthur.

29 Arthur does not know who to trust His Son His wife His best friend
