User blog comment:Merlaa/What would Arthur do to Morgana?/@comment-5674726-20121120220500

I think that it would depend on the circumstances.

If she continues as a threat to Camelot, then I'd say that he'd execute her if he was in a position where she was taken alive. Camelot doesn't have the facilities to detain a powerful sorceress against her will so life imprisonment isn't an option. I imagine that he'd go for beheading rather than burning since I can't see him wanting her to suffer a more painful method of execution. I also wouldn't be surprised if her execution wasn't a public one.

However, if it was a situation where Morgana chose to cease her hostilities towards him and towards Camelot, I could see him deciding not to try to hunt her down. This would probably be the result of a combination of not wanting to hurt her if he can avoid it, and not wanting to provoke her if she's willing to give peace a try.

A pardon is unlikely to be on the cards unless he is convinced that she is truly remorseful, and it's possible that he would need to be presented with evidence of brainwashing or similar as a mitigating factor. If she's pardoned, I don't know if he'd prefer to have her in Camelot, where he can keep an eye on her, or if he'd exile her.

He wants to know what has happened to her, and all he has so far is "I grew up". If he ever gets a more detailed answer, it could influence his decisions.
