In  Series 2, when it was stated that Ygraine died at Arhtur's death, I automatically assumed that she was the eldest child.

Were the episodes dubbed or subtitled? If so, "stepdaughter" was mistranslated and I can see how it would lead you to believe that Morgana was older. In the first two series, Morgana is known as Uther's ward, the daughter of his dead friend, so it's not an indication of her age, one way or another.

I'd lean towards her being a bit younger than Arthur because of his reaction when she spoke of beating him. If she was a couple of years older, she'd likely have been bigger than he was so, while he wouldn't like losing to a girl, he'd hardly be so ashamed of having lost to her that he'd deny it ever happened. If, on the other hand, he lost to a girl who was younger than he was, it'd make sense to me that he would be embarrassed, even as an adult.
