I don't think that they needed to go into huge detail but it was a cop-out to have everybody okay with it, just as it was a cop-out to have the problem of Arthur not being able to marry a servant vanish when the time came for it to vanish. Short of Merlin using his magic to force a change of heart on the nobility, they should have had a problem with it.

There is one interesting thing: "A boy that will, in time, father the legend". It's too true - every Merlin's allegedly dumb action have made Arthur a protector of common people. Also, who took all the credit for everything Emrys did? By the end of season 3 Arthur should have colossal public support and his marriage to Gwen(even after Lancelot du Lac) only helped in that regard. Should nobles have tried something they would be either lynched by some angry mob or saved by the king himself.
