King Arthur does not have "a temptress." Rather, he is tempted by different women in different tales. For example, in the Prose Lancelot, Arthur is father of a son named Lohot by a damsel named Lisanor, is deceived by a treacherous Saxon princess named Camille into attempting to have a love affair with her, rejects his true wife Guinevere and takes in her place Guinevere's evil half-sister, and begets Mordred on his own half-sister, King Lot's wife. No surviving medieval story presents any sexual relation between King Arthur and Morgan le Fay, though one can suspect that there was a lost tradition that she was his fairy mistress, which would fully explain her hatred for Guinevere in many texts.
