I remember that in an episode in Season 1, Gwen was described as a young maid... Maybe, I'm wrong, so I'll review all the episodes. If I'm really wrong, I'll also assume that she is the oldest of the four, because Angel Coulby was 28 in Series 1 (2008) and 32 in Series 5 (2012).

You are also right about Morgana: she was mentally unstable in Series 4 and in Series 5 (and this was mostly because of Morgause's influency, that led her to this).

I said that she should be the eldest sibling, exactly because in the Middle Age, a male child was considered the rightful king. Morgan understood that it was stupid this "system", so claimed the throne, because she was the oldest. Even though I think that you are right about the fact Morgana was mentally unstable, I still see her as the eldest sibling, because in the legend, she was slightly younger (I know that "Merlin" differs from the legend, but there were not reasons to change this, while there was about Merlino's) and I read somewhere (even though I'm not sure if it is true) that in an interview, it is stated she was the oldest of the four, while Merlino was the youngest.

Interesting theory. I'll check it. Do you remember the blog heading?

Anyway,  according to you... is Morgana older or younger than Artù?
