Igraine
Mother of the King of England, Arthur.

The Sieges of Terrabil and Tintagil
Uther of Pendragon falls in love with Queen Igraine when her and her husband, the Duke of Tintagil visit. Queen Igraine, however, does not return the feelings and immediately leaves with her husband. Wanting to protect Igraine and himself, the Duke of Tintagil hides himself and Igraine in two towers. Inside Tintagil is the Queen Igraine while the other holds the Duke. Determined, Uther of Pendragon takes his knights and has them lay siege around the towers of Terrabil and Tintagil.

Arthur's Birth
Unknowingly, Igraine sleeps with Uther of Pendragon while he is disguised as the Duke of Tintagil. The next morning she learns that the Duke of Tintagil had died the same night she had lied with him. She is very confused, and becomes pregnant. Uther confronts her and tells her that he loves her very much and that he was the father of their baby. They get married and she has Arthur. Merlin sends Arthur to Sir Ector to follow the deal Uther made with him.
