![]() ![]() After being betrayed by his ally Gorlois (out of jealousy rather than out of political reasons), he killed him and became the High King of Britain. Uther Pendragon is the nephew and War Duke of the dead High King Ambrosius and an ambitious warlord who falls in love with Igraine.She concludes that some memory of the ancient beliefs of Britain will live on, feeling that the Goddess she worshipped did not die with the coming of Christianity: rather, the Goddess just took another form in the image of the Virgin Mary. She is doomed to witness the demise of the old ways of Avalon, but in the end makes peace with certain aspects of Christianity, as she sees that she never fought the religion itself, but rather the narrow minded views of some of its priests. She often considers herself the victim of fate, having no choice in the decisions she makes in life. Portrayed as a tragic character, Morgaine is torn between her loyalty to Avalon and her unfulfilled love to Lancelet, although she has other lovers in the book, notably Arthur, Kevin, and Accolon. Her character is capable of second sight (a gift of her Goddess) and transfiguration. ![]()
