King Uther Pendragon promised to give his newborn child, Arthur, to Merlin, the wizard. Uther sought Merlin's guidance after the child's birth, as he wanted to ensure Arthur's safety from enemies who might threaten him. Merlin agreed to take the child and raise him in secrecy, away from the dangers of the kingdom. This promise set the stage for Arthur's eventual rise to become a legendary king.
There are many King Arthur books. The tradition is that Uther agrees to give up the child (Arthur) that he conceives on Igraine for the night of passion to lay with her before they marry. Merlin takes the newborn babe, Arthur, to be raised by Ector. Throughout his formative years, the boy, Arthur, does not know his true birthright.
They don't know who should be King. Arthur was taken away when he was just born, but later becomes King by pulling the sword from the stone.
Arthur, who became 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.
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.

The king after Uther was King Arthur, I think
King Uther Pendragon is the father of King Arthur.
Merlin arranges for King Uther to lie with Igraine by using a magical deception. He transforms Uther's appearance to resemble Igraine's husband, Duke Gorlois, enabling Uther to enter their castle without raising suspicion. This plan is orchestrated to ensure that Uther can father a child, Arthur, who is destined for greatness. Ultimately, Merlin's intervention is pivotal in changing the course of destiny for both Uther and England.
uther is a/an King of sub-Roman Britain
King Uther was crazy in love with the Duke of Cornwall's wife, Igraine. He wanted her as a lover but she refused him, loyal to her husband. King Uther became depressed. Merlin promised Uther he could spend the night with her, disguised as Gorlois (the Duke). Merlin's only condition was to take their child once he was born. Uther, desperate for love with Igraine, agreed. The Duke was killed in Terabyll. And Uther & Igraine ended up together. They had their son, and gave him up to Merlin, as promised.
King Arthur's father is King Uther Pendragon.King Arthur's biological father was Uther Pendragon. His adoptive or foster father was Sir Ector.
King Uther.
Merlin lives backward so he knows that the deal he makes with Uther will result in a child from tricking Ingrain in thinking he is her husband and by changing Uther he can get control of the baby ( Arthur) to make sure the baby will live to his kingship.
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.
The Child concieved through his Union with Igraine ( Arthur )
