Actually, in the dark ages, the common age to reproduce was between fourteen and seventeen. Here, on the show, this subject wasn't scratched at all and it contributed to the lack of development of the relationship between Gwen and Arthur. While it was a huge subject for Uther and Igraine, Arthur and Gwen didn't even seem to care. I understand that they didn't deal with it on this show since Arthur's only child was Mordred in the original legends. However, they could have broached it in some way, maybe having Gwen and Arthur talking about it. By the way, this is another reason why Arthur became king much too early. If they had sticked to the original plans to make Arthur king at the end of the show, this subject about an heir or an heiress would have been left to the viewer's imagination.
