Again: Morgan and Morgause

Aug 16, 2011 08:31

Rewriting this post because I've read more books!

Who is Mordred's mother? This is a list of ancient books I read and the parentage of Mordred.

HISTORIA BRITONUM: No Mordred.
ANNALE CAMBRIAE: There is Mordred/Medraut but there is nothing about his parents.
HISTORIA REGUM BRITANNIAE: Mordred is the son of Anna and Lot. Anna is Arthur's sister.
( Read more... )

[character] mordred (medraut), [topic] books and novels, [topic] tv and movies, [fandom] arthurian legends

Well, I think nowadays writers (books or movie) just don't want to deal with Mordred's brothers like Gawain... Because they always want to talk about Lancelot as the perfect knight... So, it is easier to have Mordred as Morgane's son.
I have to admit that I love both versions... Morgane or Morgause.

Regarding Bedivere, if you DO find something interesting, let me know! I do love that character!

Thanks for taking the time to make this list and update it :)

It's interesting to see the difference between the literature and the films. There is a mix in the literature and Morgause seems to be the preferred one, while it's the opposite for the films. I can understand it though because as babydracky said it's easier to have Morgane as Modred's mother. And films don't have as much time to develop a story and many characters.

I personally prefer to have Morgause as Mordred's mother because that means he has brothers and I love the Orkney boys ^^

This is so interesting! I agree that Morgan as Mordred's mother is probably a cast size thing. I guess it's easier for film makers etc if they don't have to deal with all of his half-brothers as well. Which is a shame because they would bring so much awesome drama. :D

I'm also curious what the ratio for evil!Morgause vs. good/neutral!Morgause is, as well as good!Morgan vs evil!Morgan.

Oooh, interesting. Looks like a lot of evil or no Morgause so far.

Btw, I finished that pic for you. You can find it here. :D

IT IS WONDERFUL. OH MY OH MY!! I NEED TO DO SOMETHING.
What can I do? Did you post it on your DA? May I post it on tumblr with your nickname? May I create a forum-set with it? With ton of credits?
But only if you are comfortable about it :D
