I'm sorry to say that the thing about Morgause isn't true either. She was several years older than Arthur, therefore the Great Purge/hatred for magic hadn't started yet - plus, it wasn't said that Uther wanted her dead as a baby but only that he was "led to believe" that she had died. He had no reason to want her death at that point of time. I don't know what they had originally planned when they made Uther say that he thought she died as a child/baby and when Gaius smuggled her out but it certainly can't have anything to do with the Great Purge since Morgause wasn't the same age or even younger than Arthur but older. It probably hasn't even to do with Uther and we don't even know if Uther was king already at that point of time.

There are several speculations as to why Morgause was smuggled out. I will look for the threads and copy them here in my next reply because I don't have enough time to respond to your entire posting right now. Please let me get back to it later.
