Was King Arthur the first king of England?

In Malory's Morte d'Arthur, King Uther held a great feast at his court. Gorlois, the Duke of Cornwall, attended with his wife, Igraine. Uther saw she was beautiful and wanted to take her to bed. Igraine refused Uther's advances and told her husband. She convinced Gorlois to take her home so she wouldn't be dishonored by Uther. This angered Uther and he went to war against Gorlois, beseiging his stronghold at Tintagel. seduced Lady Igraine and All through the seige, Uther was hot in lust for the woman and called for Merlin. Merlin said he would help if Uther promised to give him something in return. Of course Uther promised: anything! Through Merlin's magic, Uther and several men are transformed into the likeness of Gorlois and several of the duke's men. Disguised, they were able to enter the fortress at Tintagel. Uther went straight to Igraine. She was surprised to see her husband there at that hour but . . . Arthur was conceived that night. Merlin knew that Arthur would be special, so he asks for the child, promising that he would take the baby to a trusted man to raise in secret.

How does Merlin help king uther trick igraine?

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.
