How does uther pendragon die?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Arthur dies in a great battle by Mordred in Camlann as the prophecy says. Morgana the high priestess unleashed her power towards merlin and as he strikes out to stab her with the sword which has been forged in Dragon's breath she finally dies at Arthur's side. Battle is Won by Emry's Great powerand because the sword that Mordred had was forged in athusia's breath Arthur tends to die and nothing can save him. Merlin truly reveals that he is a sorcerer to the King.Some says Arthur one day be returned as he is needed.Avalon is where Arthur's death takes place, and Albian is a paradise where Arthur will will recover from his injuries from the battle.Furthermore the queen still lives and shocked when she finds the King been missing for days in the battle.Having a sword forged in dragon's breath means that they will die no matter what remedy is available to keep them alive and as the dragon said there is nothing to be done and Emry's has not failed his destiny he did what he had too to protect his kingdom and most of all his friend Arthur.
