Although Morgaine survived for centuries, her youth and beauty did not. Morgan was known by different names and characteristics, in some instances good, and others wicked. Then they enter the castle and are taken before Morgan le Fay, her husband, and her son, Sir Uwaine le Blanchemains. She grew up wielding a sword while also wearing pretty dresses her mother had never had a taste for. [14] He also diminishes Morgan's conflict with Guinevere, as there is no motif of Guiomar and Accolon is her first named lover (appearing as Accolon of Gaul in a much abbreviated version of his story[6]), but does not clarify Morgan's motivations for her antagonistic behaviour against Arthur. [39] In the Prose Merlin, for instance, it is Morgan who finds Merlin, whom she "loves passionately". She learns more spells than any other woman, gains an ability to transform herself into any animal, and people begin to call her Morgan the Goddess (Morgain-la-déesse, Morgue la dieuesse). Years later, they are helped to escape. However, Morgan’s faerie nature indicates at least one of her parents She waited her time and began devising plots to destroy King Arthur. But unlike some of the other legacies at Auradon Prep *Cough* Audrey *Cough* she had a good head on her shoulders. Through her devotee, Theophilus Warly, they managed to lure the immortal Jason Blood to them. In the German version of Erec, the 12th-century knight and poet Hartmann von Aue has Erec healed by Guinevere with a special plaster that was given to Arthur by the king's sister, the goddess (gotinne)[29] Feimurgân (Fâmurgân, Fairy Murgan[50]): In writing that, Hartmann might have not been influenced by Chrétien, but rather by an earlier oral tradition from the stories of Breton bards. As part of her convoluted plan, both Arthur and Accolon are spirited away from their hunt with Urien by a magical boat of twelve damsels. Morgan kept Arthur's sword, Excalibur, for safekeeping, waiting until Arthur's male heir was born. Aftet Voldemort attacks and kills James, Dumbledore, out of fear, locks Harry away with his mother, but Lily is more than she seems. Geoffrey's description of Morgen and her sisters in the Vita Merlini closely resembles the story of the nine Gaulish priestesses of the isle of Sena (now Île de Sein) called Gallisenae (or Gallizenae), as described by the geographer Pomponius Mela during the first century, strongly suggesting that Pomponius' Description of the World (De situ orbis) was one of Geoffrey's prime sources. Here, she has a daughter named Morganette and an adoptive son named Passelion, who in turn have a son named Morgan, described as an ancestor of the Lady of the Lake. Her history is slightly different from the legends but she is a sorceress gifted in the arts of black magic. This page was last edited on 12 March 2021, at 07:17. [14] In any case, having finished her studies under Merlin, Morgan begins scheming her vengeance as she tries to undermine virtue and achieve Guinevere's downfall whenever she can. In it, a love of Morgan (Morgue) is Guigomar (Guingomar, Guinguemar), the Lord of the Isle of Avalon and a nephew of King Arthur, a character derivative of Guigemar from the Breton lai Guigemar. Mordred or Modred (/ ˈ m oʊ d r ɛ d /; Welsh: Medraut or Medrawt) is a character who is variously portrayed in the Arthurian legend.The earliest known mention of a possibly historical Medraut is in the Welsh chronicle Annales Cambriae, wherein he and Arthur are ambiguously associated with the Battle of Camlann in a brief entry for the year 537. And whatever she would have from this earth, she took, without peril, in ample measure, all for herself. Some of these are original new episodes, such as the Cantari di Tristano group's Cantare di Astore e Morgana, in which Morgana heals Hector de Maris (Astore) and gives an armour made in Hell as well as a magical ship, and the Cantari del Falso Scudo that features her fairy son, the Knight with the Enchanted Shield; the Ponzela Gaia is another telling of the familiar story of Morgana's fairy daughter. She then takes an unnamed knight as her new companion, until she discovers his affair with another woman, which leads to the creation of her magical domain known as the Val sans Retour (the Vale of No Return), serving as an enchanted prison for false lovers. "Morgan le Fay: Goddess or Witch?". She was totally indifferent as to whether she lived in the fire or, just as much at her ease, in the dew. However, the mysterious[2] 14th-century Prose Yvain is an unrelated text and not a prosification of Chrétien's poem. Arthur steps into her boat after Camlann but assures he is not going to return. [5]) In Vita Merlini, Geoffrey describes this island in more detail and names Morgen as the chief of the nine magical queen sisters who dwell there, ruling in their own right. [3][4] As her epithet "le Fay" (invented in the 15th century by Thomas Malory[5] from the earlier French la fée, "the fairy"; Malory would also use the form "le Fey" alternatively with "le Fay"[6]) and some traits indicate, the figure of Morgan appears to have been a remnant of supernatural females from Celtic mythology, and her main name could be connected to the myths of Morgens (also known as Mari-Morgans or just Morgans),[7] the Welsh and Breton fairy water spirits related to the legend of Princess Dahut (Ahes). This post focuses in part on the Gothic influence of a painting by Edward… Public domain . "[57] She is also mentioned in the Draco Normannicus, a 12th-century (c. 1167–1169) Latin chronicle by Étienne de Rouen, which contains a fictional letter from King Arthur to Henry II of England, written for political propaganda purposes, in which 'Arthur' criticises Henry for invading Brittany and claims that he has been healed of his wounds and made immortal in Avalon by his fay sister Morgan, called an "immortal nymph" (nympha perennis). Lady Morgan Le Faye is King Arthur's nemesis, and owner of Keep Le Faye. Although the older sister and of the same status, Artoria received the love and hopes of their father in Morgan's eyes, driving her to eventually become a witch queen who craved for vengeance for the rest of her days. "[56], A recently discovered moralistic manuscript written in Anglo-Norman French is the only known instance of medieval Arthurian literature presented as being composed by Morgan herself. Igraine also bore King Uther Pendragon a son who became the legendary King of Camelot. Taking the mystical artifact for himself, he declared that no one would tell him what to do a… [41] In the Prose Tristan, wherein Morgan presents herself as Arthur's full sister,[14] she delivers by Lamorak to Arthur's court a magical drinking horn from which no unfaithful lady can drink without spilling, hoping to disgrace Guinevere by revealing her infidelity, but it is Iseult whose adultery is disclosed instead. She and her sisters are capable of shapeshifting and flying ("like Daedalus, on strange wings"[9]),[32] and (at least seemingly[18]) use their powers only for good. Arthur, son of Igraine and Uther, is Morgan's half-brother; the Queen of Orkney is one of Morgan's sisters and Mordred's mother. "Morgan le Fay". [58][78] Malory scholar Elizabeth Sklar described Morgan's character here as "an essentially sociopathic personality, respecting no boundaries and acknowledging no rules save those dictated by her own ambitions, envy, and lust. [57] Notably, it is one of the first known texts that made Morgan a sister to Arthur, as she is in the works of Chrétien and many others after him. When Ben brings over the VK's, not many of them knew much about Mason LeFay, son of Camelot's Morgan LeFay. She established the keep with her son, and gathered followers, who became the Renegade knights. [139], During the Italian Renaissance, Morgan has been primarily featured in relation to the cycle of epic poems of Orlando (based on Roland of the historical Charlemagne). "Thoroughly Modern Morgan: Morgan le Fey in Twentieth-Century Popular Arthuriana". "Morgan Le Fay" portrait by Anthony Frederick Sandys. For modern portrayals of the character, see. [6] Her powers, however, seem to be inspired by fairy magic of Celtic folklore rather than by medieval Christian demonology. According to Uther Pendragon, when Morgana's presumed father Gorlois was away fighting on the Northern Plains, her mother Vivienne had a brief affair with Uther Pendragon and later gave birth to Morgana. Morgan Le Fay was King Arthur's half-sister, and the mother of his bastard son, Mordred.. In Madame Xanadu #1 (2008), Morgaine (or "Morgana") is revealed as a sister of Nimue Inwudu (the future Madame Xanadu) and Vivienne, the Lady of the Lake. In some of the later works, she is also subversively working to take over Arthur's throne through her mostly harmful magic and scheming, including manipulating men. [101] Here, she is an ambiguous trickster[34] who takes an appearance of an elderly woman (contrasting from the beautiful Lady Bertilak in a role evoking the loathly lady tradition[102]), as a test for Arthur and his knights and to frighten Guinevere to death. When Ben brings over the VK's, not many of them knew much about Mason LeFay, son of Camelot's Morgan LeFay. Arthur's forces held out against the invading army. In some variants, including the popular retelling by Malory, Morgan is the greatest enemy of Arthur, scheming to usurp his throne, indirectly becoming an instrument of his death; however, she eventually reconciles with Arthur, retaining her original role of taking him on his final journey to Avalon. The historical Owain mab Urien, on whom the literary character is based, was the king of Rheged in Great Britain during the late 6th century. She desperately tried to find Merlin who vanished after Camelot's destruction, as his tome held the secrets to restore her to her former self. To prevent this, Arthur had all the children born that day put on a boat with a leak and sent to sea. [5][58][97] Arthur is last seen in Morgan's lap, with her lament of sorrow referring to him as her "dear brother" (dere brothir), as they disappear from the work's narrative together. Three times during the game, Owain's men inform him that Arthur's squires have been slaughtering his ravens, but when Owain protests, Arthur simply responds, "Your move." [35][60] Most of the time, Morgan's magic arts correspond with these of Merlin's and the Lady of the Lake's, featuring shapeshifting, illusion, and sleeping spells (Richard Kieckhefer connected it with Norse magic[6]). [99] Middle English romance Arthour and Merlin, written around 1270, casts a villainous Morgan in the role of the Lady of the Lake and gives her a brother named Morganor as an illegitimate son of King Urien; her wondrous castle Palaus is built mostly of crystal and glass. He has a half-brother (with whom he is often confused) named Yvain the Bastard, son of Urien and his seneschal's wife. [53][54] In the 13th-century romance Parzival, another German knight-poet Wolfram von Eschenbach inverted Hartmann's Fâmurgân's name to create that of Arthur's fairy ancestor named Terdelaschoye de Feimurgân, the wife of Mazadân, where the part "Terdelaschoye" comes from Terre de la Joie, or Land of Joy; the text also mentions the mountain of Fâmorgân. [41][116] In another chanson de geste, the early-13th-century La Bataille Loquifer, the fays[29] Morgan and her sister Marsion (Marrion) bring the Saracen hero Renoart to Avalon, where Arthur is the king, and Renoart's union with Morgan gives him an illegitimate son named Corbon (Corbans). While the fairy Modron is mother of Owain mab Urien in the Welsh myth, and Morgan would be assigned this role in the later literature, this first continental association between Yvain (the romances' version of Owain) and Morgan does not imply they are son and mother. [23] Additionally, Modron is called "daughter of Afallach",[24] a Welsh ancestor figure also known as Avallach or Avalloc, whose name can also be interpreted as a noun meaning "a place of apples";[25] in the tale of Owain and Morfydd's conception in Peniarth 147, Modron is called the "daughter of the King of Annwn", a Celtic Otherworld. [14][18] Another ancient-times appearance can be found in the much later Perceforest (1330s), within the fourth book which is set in Britain during Julius Caesar's invasions, where the fairy Morgane lives in the isle of Zeeland and has learned her magic from Zephir. She waited her time and began devising plots to destroy King Arthur. [10][11][12][13] Further inspiration for her character likely came from Welsh folklore and medieval Irish literature and hagiography. Still ever lascivious and sexual, Morgan now lives in a splendid enchanted castle in the wilderness (identified as Brocéliande in a later manuscript) with twelve other beautiful fairy ladies including the sorceress Madoine (Madoina). Morgan is widely feared and hated, so much that "many knights wished her burnt." [58] Unlike Malory's Nimue, Morgan deals mostly in "black" rather than "white" magic, employed usually through enchantments and potions. [109] The fairy queen Lady Morgan (Dame Morgue, Morgue li fee) shows up in Adam de la Halle's late-13th-century French story Jeu de la feuillée, in which she visits a contemporary Arras. "[78] Her many paramours include Huneson the Bald (Hemison, Onesun), who is mortally wounded when he attacks Tristan out of his jealously for Morgan's attention; he soon dies after returning to her, and the anguished Morgan buries him in a grand tomb. [14], At the end of the 14th-century Middle English romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, one of the best-known Arthurian tales, it is revealed that the entire Green Knight plot has been instigated by Gawain's aunt, the goddess[100] Morgan le Fay (Morgue la Faye, Morgne þe goddes[30]), whose prior mentorship by Merlin is mentioned. Entering her boat (she is not named in the scene, but addresses him as her brother), Arthur believes he is going to be healed, yet his tomb is later discovered by Bedivere. In. [7][37], According to a theory postulated by R. S. Loomis, Geoffrey was not the original inventor of Morgan's character, which had already existed in hypothetical unrecorded stories of her as Arthur's fairy saviour, or even also his fairy godmother (her earliest shared supernatural ability being able to traverse on or under water). Yet even in Malory some traces of her former, more benevolent character remain. It is believed that this character, though considered a male in Gereint, may be derived from Morgan le Fay, though this has been a matter of debate among Arthurian scholars since the 19th century (the epithet Tud may be a Welsh or Breton cognate or borrowing of Old Irish tuath, "north, left", "sinister, wicked", also "fairy (fay), elf"). There, she abducts her favourites until she is thwarted by Orlando who defeats, chases and captures Morgana, destroying her underwater prison and letting her keep only one of her forced lovers, a knight named Ziliante. She later protects him during his adventures in the mortal world as he defends France from Muslim invasion, before his eventual return to Avalon. James stared at the minister in shock. She also otherwise torments Guinevere, causing her great distress and making her miserable until the Lady of the Lake gives her a ring that protects her from Morgan's power. Morgan Le Fay was King Arthur's half-sister, and the mother of his bastard son, Mordred.. [29] Hartmann also separated Arthur's sister (that is Feimurgân) from the fairy mistress of the lord of Avalon (Chrétien's Guigomar), who in his version is named Marguel. Her common image is now a malicious and cruel sorceress, the source of many intrigues at the royal court of Arthur and elsewhere. Nevertheless, Alexander promises to defend her castle of Fair Guard (Belle Garde), where he has been held, for a year and a day, and then dutifully continues to guard it even after the castle gets burned down;[41][83] this eventually leads to his death. She becomes an apprentice of Merlin, and a capricious and vindictive adversary of some knights of the Round Table, all the while harbouring a special hatred for Arthur's wife Guinevere. The following contains some basic information on Morgan Le Fay, which literally translates 'the morning fairy', as one of the foremost recognized witches of all time. Sir Ywain / ɪˈweɪn /, also known as Yvain, Owain, Uwain (e), Ewaine, Iwain, Iwein, etc., is a knight of the Round Table in Arthurian legend, wherein he is often the … In the Post-Vulgate, where Morgan's explicitly evil nature is stated and accented, she also works to destroy Arthur's rule and end his life, but the reasons for her initial hatred of him are never fully explained other than just an extreme antipathy towards the perfect goodness which he symbolises. Morgan le Fay, better known as Morgana Pendragon is an extremely powerful witch and the enemy of King Arthur and the legendary wizard Merlin. one of the Nine Worlds of Asgardian Cosmology). In the legends of Charlemagne, she is associated with the Danish legendary hero Ogier the Dane: following his initial epics, when he is 100 years old, the fairy queen Morgan restores him to his youthful form but removes his memory, then takes him to her mystical island palace in Avalon (where Arthur and Gawain are also still alive) to be her lover for 200 years. It also features the medieval motif where uses a magic horn to convince Arthur of the infidelity of his queen (Geneura), here successfully. Morgan was born as the proper, recognized daughter of King Uther. Eventually his son Mordred and his aunt Morgan Le Fay began plotting to overthrow King Arthur and rule Camelot themselves. At first, Morgan and the also young Guinevere are close friends, even wearing shared near-identical rings. Morgan Le Fay and Merlin. Rhonabwy, the dreamer of the Dream, awakens, and the reader is left as confused as he is. [29][41], Speculatively, Loomis and John Matthews further identified other perceived avatars of Morgan as the "Besieged Lady" archetype in various early works associated with the Castle of Maidens motif, often appearing as (usually unnamed) wife of King Lot and mother of Gawain. [84] On one occasion, she lets the captive Lancelot go to rescue Gawain when he promises to come back (but also keeping him the company of "the most beautiful of her maidens" to do "whatever she could to entice him"), and he keeps his word and does return; she eventually releases him altogether after over a year, when his health falters and he is near death. [14] The most famous and important of these machinations is introduced in the Post-Vulgate Suite, where she arranges for her devoted lover Accolon to obtain the enchanted sword Excalibur as well as its protective scabbard, which has been previously confided to Morgan by Arthur himself as he had trusted her even more than his wife, replacing the real ones with fakes. However, disaster strikes when the sight of Lancelot's frescoes and Morgan's confession finally convinces Arthur about the truth to the rumours of the two's secret love affair (about which he has been already warned by his nephew Agravain). Although Arthur's male line, and thus his name, died out, his lineage continued in a series of daughters, all witches, the last of whom was Sarah Hughes, Hellboy's mother. [33] Morgen is also said to be a learned mathematician[34] and to have taught astronomy[35] to her fellow nymph (nymphae)[29] sisters, whose names are Moronoe, Mazoe, Gliten, Glitonea, Gliton, Tyronoe, Thiten and Thiton. Purportedly an account of the life of Merlin, it elaborates some episodes from Geoffrey's more famous earlier work, Historia Regum Britanniae (1136). Her prominence increased over time, as did her moral ambivalence, and in some texts there is an evolutionary transformation of her to an antagonist, particularly as portrayed in cyclical prose such as the Lancelot-Grail and the Post-Vulgate Cycle. He agreed to this pact because of his mother's promise to secure him Camelot,but grew steadily more frustrated as the years went by with no success. [34] Malory mentions Arthur's attempts to conquer at least one of her castles, which originally had been his own gift to her, and which he could not retake (apparently due to magical defences[92]). Morgaine le Fay appears in the TV shows set in the DC animated universe, voiced by Olivia d'Abo: In the Justice League episode "A Knight of Shadows", in which she tries to steal the Philosopher's Stone and use it to convert London into a massive castle, with her son Mordred as the ruler, by partially brainwashing the Martian Manhunter and having him steal the stone for her in exchange for restoring … Morgan Le Faye came to Gielinor in the Fifth Age, when the portal between England and RuneScape was opened up. She is now the leader of the four (not three) witch queens who capture Lancelot (the others being the Queen of the Northgales, the Queen of Eastland, and the Queen of the Outer Isles). After Arthur is fatally wounded fighting his illegitimate son Mordred, she is one of the mysterious women who take him to Avalon for healing. Later in the 21st century, Mordred's patience reached its limit, and he betrayed his mother after they found the Amulet of First Magic. The earliest account, by Geoffrey of Monmouth in Vita Merlini, refers to Morgan in conjunction with the Isle of Apples (Avalon), which is where Arthur was carried after being fatally wounded in the Battle of Camlann. Such is the case when Morgan sends Arthur a supposed offering of peace in the form of a rich mantle cloak; Morgan's messenger maiden is made put on the cursed gift and it burns her to cinders. [44][45] It was noted that even Chrétien' earliest mention of Morgan already shows an enmity between her and Queen Guinevere, and although Morgan is represented only in a benign role by Chrétien, she resides in a mysterious place known as the Vale Perilous (which some later authors would say she has created as a place of punishment for unfaithful knights). This post focuses in part on the Gothic influence of a painting by Edward… [64] A 14th-century massive prequel to the Arthurian legend, Perceforest, also implies that Arthur's sister was later named after its fée character Morgane from several centuries earlier. [9][69] Opinions are also divided regarding Morgan's intentions and whether she succeeds or fails,[104] and how the story's shapeshifting and enigmatic Morgan might be, or might be not, also Lady Bertilak herself. In a conspiracy with the villainous lord Damas, Morgan plans for Accolon to use Arthur's own magic items against him in single combat, so she and her beloved Accolon would become the rulers. The earth bore no root, the power of which was not as familiar to her as the back of my hand is to me. In an episode that had been first introduced by the anonymous writer of the earlier Prose Lancelot, Lancelot rescues Elaine of Corbenic from being trapped in an enchanted boiling bath by Morgan and the Queen of the Northgales, both envious of Elaine's great beauty (echoing Circe's treatment of Scylla[14]). Sebile and Morgan are particularly close companions, working their magic together, but they tend to fall into petty squabbles due to their rivalries and bad tempers, including a conflict between them when they both seduce Lancelot's brother Hector de Maris in the late 13th-century Prophéties de Merlin. However, Jason Blood betrayed Camelot for his love and allowed Morgaine and her army to storm the castle. But she was the most lustful woman in all Great Britain and the lewdest. [14][30] In the Vulgate Lancelot, Morgan learns all her magic only from Merlin (and not in the nunnery). In Layamon's Middle English poem The Chronicle of Britain (c. 1215), Arthur was taken to Avalon by two women to be healed there by its most beautiful elfen (aluen) queen named Argante or Argane;[14][41] it is possible her name had been originally Margan(te) before it was changed in manuscript transmission. Morgana also stated that, as a child, she used to help Gorlois with his armour. In Matteo Maria Boiardo's late-15th-century Orlando Innamorato, fata Morgana (initially as lady Fortune[140]) is beautiful but wicked fairy enchantress, a sister of King Arthur and a pupil of Merlin. It also features three other counterpart characters: Acrasia, Duessa, and Malecasta, all representing different themes from Malory's description of Morgan. Mordred is the offspring of Arthur's inadvertent incest with Morgause, the king's estranged half-sister. The name is not to be confused with the unrelated Modern Welshmasculine n… In his 14th-century Catalan poem La faula, Guillem de Torroella claims to have himself having visited the Enchanted Isle and met Arthur who has been brought back to life by the fay Morgan (Morgan la feya, Morguan la fea)[29] and they both are now forever young due to the power of the Holy Grail. [119] In the 15th-century Valencian romance Tirant lo Blanc, the noble Queen Morgan searches the world for her missing brother; finally finding him entranced in Constantinople, Morgan brings Arthur back to his senses by removing Excalibur from his hands, after which they leave to Avalon. In her own tale, Morgana's daughter defeats Gawain (Galvano) in her giant serpent form before becoming his lover; she and her fairy army then save Gawain from the jealous Guinevere, who wants Gawain dead after having been spurned by him. It is possible that this motif was inspired by classical stories like that how Medea killed her rival for Jason's affection[74] or how Deianira sent a poisoned tunic to Hercules. Morgan Le Fay: popularly known as Arthurian sorceress, benevolent fairy, priestess, dark magician, enchantress, witch, sea goddess, shape-changer, healer, and the sole personage of Avalon the Isle of Apples, not to mention daughter of Ygerna (Igraine) and Gorlois, half-sister to King Arthur, mother of Mordred, lady-in-waiting to Guinevere, wife of Uriens, lover of Sir Accolon, fancier of Sir Lancelot, and as fair a lady as any might be. (…) And when it took her fancy she could change a man into a bird or an animal. If people find out that Morgaine Le Fay walks the earth again, it could, and most likely would, cause a mass panic." The pregnant Morgan later gives a birth to Guiomar's son, who is not named in the story but is said to grow up to become a great knight. Morgan le Fay The Lady Trickster. [123][124] In Tristán de Leonis, Morgana offers her love to Tristan. "[57] The Vulgate Suite du Merlin narration describes Morgan's unmatched beauty and her various skills and qualities of character: Uther (or Arthur himself in the Post-Vulgate[14]) betroths her to his ally, King Urien of Gor(r)e (described as an Otherworldly northern British kingdom, possibly the historical Rheged). Morgaine and her army of monsters attacked King Arthur's castle in an attempt to place her only son, Mordred, on the throne. Sir Ywain /ɪˈweɪn/, also known as Yvain, Owain, Uwain(e), Ewaine, Iwain, Iwein, etc., is a knight of the Round Table in Arthurian legend, wherein he is often the son of King Urien of Gorre and the sorceress Morgan le Fay.
