The king named Uther Pendragon first appears in any sort of story in surviving texts in the Historia Regum Britanniae by the 12th century write Geoffrey of Monmouth.
According to Geoffrey's account, King Uther although ill, had himself carried in a horse litter to battle the Saxons. The battle was won, but Uther's illness became worse and he and could only stand to drink from a well near Verulam (St. Albans). Some Saxon spies discovered this and poisoned the well. Uther died of the poisoned water, and a hundred of his followers who drank the water after him. See http://www.lib.rochester.edu/CAMELOT/geofhkb.htm . This account also appears in the derived versions of Wace and Layamon and in other derived versions.
In the Story of Merlin attributed to Robert de Boron, it was Merlin who advised Uther to go with his army in a horse litter. But Merlin tells Uther that he will die following the battle. So it happens. After winning the battle, Uther's illness increases and he dies. See http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=cme;idno=Merlin , chapter V, and http://members.terracom.net/~dorothea/baladro/index.html , chapter 17. This version, without the poisoning, is the source of the account in Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur.
According to some accounts he drank water from a spring that had been poisoned by the Saxons, in other accounts he dies of a wound received in battle.
He was killed in battle by Mordred.

According to most sources, King Arthur was born of King Uther Pendragon and Igraine, who was wife of the Duke of Cornwall before she married Pendragon. Uther, consumed with obsession/love/lust (whatever you believe), rallied his army and attacked Cornwall. In the course of the battle, Cornwall was killed, and Igraine and Pendragon married, bearing Arthur. However, threat of Saxon attack moved Pendragon to foster out his child. Arthur grew up never knowing of his royal birth. Until, of course, he first laid eyes on glimmering Excalibur.

Tradition states that Uther Pendragon was born in Bourges. He was the king of Camelot and the father of the famous King Arthur.
Uther Pendragon, the King of England, was deeply in love with Igraine of Cornwall. Uther's assistant, Merlin, a magician, promised that they would be married if Uther gave Merlin a son. So, Uther and Igraine fell in love and had Arthur who was sent to live with Sir Ector for safety and because Uther was going to die.
