What Arthur did not know was that he had a half-sister ; Her name was Morgan, she was the daughter of Igraine.
Morgan knew the secret of Arthur's birth and she hated him.
Unfortunately, she was a powerful sorceress and she wanted Arthur's doom.
Morgan had a son, Mordred.
He had been fed by his mother's hatred.
One day, Morgan decided the time to act had finally come !
"You see, my lord ", Mordred tells Arthur.
"Lancelot and Queen Guinevere really seem to enjoy each othet's company." He adds : "I am only a new knight here, but I have already noticed that they spend hours together everyday." He goes on : "You should see to that, my lord..."
The seeds of suspicion are planted. A shadow, which was not there, is growing inside Arthur's heart.
Things have changed in the city of Camelot.
There is neither justice nor peace any more.
Chaos is everywhere. Despite Merlin's advice, Arthur has listened to Mordred's poisonous words.
He believes his wife and Lancelot had decided to ignore their feelings. But Arthur, blinded by jealousy, sentences Guinevere to death. Lancelot and Guinevere flee to France and Arthur goes after them.
He leaves Camelot in Mordred's care.
Now Morgan is fully satisfied.
Mordred is going to rule Camelot !
Mordred wants to kill Arthur and become the new king of Britain.
Arthur and his knights come back to fight against Mordred. It is a terrible battle.
All the knights except one are killed by Mordred's devilish soldiers.
Arthur manages to stab Mordred to death, but he is mortally wounded too.
The only knight who survived has put Arthur's body in a boat. "Goodbye, my King."
He says. "I will never forget you or Camelot."
The boat with Arthur's body is going to a magic island, Avalon.
There, Arthur will rest in peace. The legend says that Arthur is only sleeping and that one day, if his kingdom is threatened, he will wake up to restore peace and justice, to restore the dream of Camelot.
