Place of Birth: Tintagel Family connections / Genealogy: He was the son of King Uther Pendragon and Igraine the Duchess of Cornwall, first wife of Gorlois
King Uther Pendragon is the father of King Arthur.
Arthur was the son of Uther and Ygraine - but Ygraine was NOT Uther's wife when Arthur was conceived. Had Uther and Ygraine had other legitimately conceived children, Aurthr would have been .... "inconvenient", and a potential threat to Uther's other sons. For Arthur's own safety, Merlin took the infant Arthur away to be raised separately. One more point; there is only ONE KING AT A TIME. If Uther was King, then Arthur could not be - and Arthur could not be King while Uther lived.
Merlin gave him a drug that transformed Uther into Gorlois's likeness. Uther then lied to Igraine about how he'd slipped from the seige to see she was safe
Uther was one of three sons of Constans, the King of Briton. Upon Constans' death, Vortigern, a usurper to the throne, became king and was soon defeated by Uther
he was proud of her because she is his daugther and she is a orphan
Place of Birth: Tintagel Family connections / Genealogy: He was the son of King Uther Pendragon and Igraine the Duchess of Cornwall, first wife of Gorlois
King Uther Pendragon disguised himself as Gorlois, the Duke of Tintagel and slept with Ygrain, when Gorlois was actually dead, thus conceiving Arthur. Merlin took him away to live with Sir Ector and his son, Sir Kay.
In the first surviving mention of Igraine, Merlin disguises Uther Pendragon as Gorlois, Igraine's husband before Uther so Uther can enter the Igraine's castle and force her to fall in love with him. Geoffrey of Monmouth The first surviving mention is in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, where she enters the story as the wife of Gorlois, Duke of Cornwall. King Uther Pendragon falls in love with her and attempts to force his attentions on her at his court. She informs her husband who departs with her to Cornwall without asking leave. This sudden departure gives Uther Pendragon an excuse to make war on Gorlois. Gorlois conducts the war from the castle of Dimilioc but places his wife in safety in the castle of Tintagel. Disguised as Gorlois by Merlin, Uther Pendragon is able to enter Tintagel to satisfy his lust. He manages to rape Igraine by deceit - Igraine believes that she is lying with her husband and becomes pregnant with Arthur. Her husband Gorlois dies in battle that same night. Geoffrey does not say, and later accounts disagree, as to whether Gorlois died before or after Arthur was begotten (something that might be important in determining whether or not a child could be made legitimate by a later marriage to its true father). Uther Pendragon later marries Igraine. According to Geoffrey, Igraine also bore a daughter Anna to Uther Pendragon, this Anna later becoming the mother of Gawain and Mordred. Yet Geoffrey also refers to King Hoel of Brittany as Arthur's nephew and presents a prophecy that to Uther's daughter will be born a line of seven kings, something true if Howel is Anna's son, but not true if only Gawain or Mordred are Anna's sons. There is confusion here, especially as Welsh genealogies name an Anna as Howel's mother but one not connected to Uther Pendragon.
The king after Uther was King Arthur, I think
uther is a/an King of sub-Roman Britain
King Uther Pendragon is the father of King Arthur.
Yes, Uther did.
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.
Arthur was the son of Uther and Ygraine - but Ygraine was NOT Uther's wife when Arthur was conceived. Had Uther and Ygraine had other legitimately conceived children, Aurthr would have been .... "inconvenient", and a potential threat to Uther's other sons. For Arthur's own safety, Merlin took the infant Arthur away to be raised separately. One more point; there is only ONE KING AT A TIME. If Uther was King, then Arthur could not be - and Arthur could not be King while Uther lived.
King Arthur's father is King Uther Pendragon.King Arthur's biological father was Uther Pendragon. His adoptive or foster father was Sir Ector.
Merlin gave him a drug that transformed Uther into Gorlois's likeness. Uther then lied to Igraine about how he'd slipped from the seige to see she was safe
