I think it's mostly assumed that Morgana is older than Arthur. It makes the most sense, really, because after Ygraine (with the Y; that's how it's officially spelled for Merlin) died then he would probably have been too grief stricken to bother.
So then Uther would have cheated on Ygraine? See I always assumed Morgana was older, but then doesn't Uther explain her conception by the fact that he was comforting Morgana's mother why her husband was away at war or something? So where was Ygraine when this was happening? I think I'm going to have to go back and rewatch...
And thanks, I didn't think to check the credits or anything! *rolls eyes at self*
Yep, he would have cheated, most likely while trying to conceive Arthur with Ygraine. In my head, Uther cheated with Vivienne because he was depressed about being unable to conceive with Ygraine, and then Morgana's conception was the last straw that pushed Uther to using magic for Arthur.
It was never explained in detail, though, so it's entirely possible tptb will change it, the way they like to do.
I think its supposed to be a Y... That's how its spelled in the "A Dream of Eagles" series and I know he did a lot of research when writing those books.
I don't know how the show has it spelled though, because it could be one of those things up for interpretation. *shrugs*
