Arthur Granjean was the accountant treasurer who submitted the patent for inventor's André Cassagnes drawing toy known as Etch A Sketch. He did NOT invent the toy.
Note, for further information, SEE:
Andre Cassagnes dies at 86; Etch A Sketch inventor: A French electrician, Cassagnes invented the drawing toy in Paris in the late 1950s. When an Ohio firm introduced it in 1960, it became a hit, ranked one of the top 100 toys of the century.Published February 02, 2013byValerie J. Nelson, writer for the Los Angeles Times.
Andre Cassagnes died died Jan. 16, 2013 "in a Paris suburb, the Toy Industry Assn. announced." "Since he couldn't afford to pay for a patent, he borrowed money from an investor who sent his treasurer, Arthur Granjean, to complete the paperwork. But Granjean's name ended up on the patent, helping to obscure Cassagnes' role. When the New York-based National Toy Hall of Fame inducted Etch A Sketch in 1998, it wrongly listed Granjean as the toy's creator.
An official history on Ohio Art's website gives Cassagnes credit for the invention."
"During 1957-58 time frame, after deciding upon a satisfactory design, Cassagnes sought advice on potential manufacturers of his concept. He initially presented his proposal to Nion Company, a plastic injection molder, located in his hometown of Vitry. Philippe Mayer, who later became involved in distributing the Telecran Drawing Toy and, who introduced Bill and Susan Killgallon to André Cassagnes in June, 2006, coincidently worked for Nion Company.Nion Company management had no interest in producing the drawing toy concept for Cassagnes, but did refer him to Paul Chaze, owner of another smaller plastic injection molding company named MAI. This company produced automatic cigarette rolling devices and was also conveniently located. MAI produced the initial tracing device samples.Paul Chaze agreed to invest in and produce the initial tooling as well as agreeing to loan Cassagnes the funds to officially register his patent. Not being familiar with legal matters, Cassagnes permitted Chaze to prepare and send the paperwork on 5/28/59 to the French Ministre De L’Industrie. Unbeknown to Cassagnes at the time, Chaze instructed his accountant, Arthur Grandjean, to file and pay for the “tracing device†patent, which is why Grandjean’s name appears on the French #1,242,370 and U.S. #3,055,113 “Letters Patent†certificates.Grandjean soon thereafter assigned the French patent rights to Paul Chaze, who proceeded to arrange for the manufacture, marketing and licensing of the drawing toy."
Merlin had a sort of "love at first sight" relationship in the beginning of Series 1 with Morgana that turned to a close friendship and then to a strained relationship after she tried to kill Uther.
In Series 2 it appeared that Merlin and Morgana's relationship had been repaired and they shared deep feelings for one another, but Morgana began to slowly drift into isolation because of her confusion from her powers and her hatred of Uther.
Yes, Merlin did poison Morgana, but it is clear on numerlous occasions that it was one of the hardest decisions (if not THE hardest) he's ever made. He didn't want to kill her, but he had no choice. In Series 3 they do become adversaries, but it is clear that Merlin feels guilty for how Morgana has changed to this villain, and he still appears to care for her.

Why did King Arthur become famous?
He was a king, that's why we have the Legend of King Arthur and Excalibur, the sword in the stone, and the lady of the lake and Merlin and Guinivere and Lancelot and the whole thing. Pastscapian wrote: Arthur of the earlier legends and pseudo-histories (8th/9th/10 Centuries) isn't called a king. He's either 'Lord of the Islands' or a dux bellorum (leader of battles). In fact, he's seen more as a superhuman, or even minor deity figure. The Protector of Britannia. He is only later actually called a king and even an emperor in one legend.
Sir Thomas Malory was the 15th century english writer who compiled the legends of King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot and the Knights of Camelot's Round Table into the book called "Le Morte D'Arthur" (The Death of Arthur), which was published by Caxton in 1485. There is some controversy about the actual identity of Sir Thomas Malory, with various contender for the actual author. Since the 19th century, most scholars have believed that the writer was a Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in the County of Warwickshire, who led a spectacularly colourful life involving accusations of stealing, banditry, kidnap and rape, as well as at least one escape from prison.
