Guys, the points you make are very sensible, its just that I always thought such discriminatory measurements is what hindered us from moving forward at a greater pace.

I know the practical reasons why such code was created but I am  bummed that when Uther was pretty much  stable on his throne, and secure he did not add any ammendments to it. The age where  might was right, wouldn't it make far more sense to knight someone who will prove their might somehow, sometime? I mean when lancelot came, the guys arthur were training were more or less noble blood but good for nothing when it came to fight.

I find it surprising that Uther will cling to that code so much, instead of adding ammendments that will strenghthen his force.

On this note, during the middle ages, as can be seen many time, Kingdoms were not even safe from sibilings or from children even. Maybe Uther understand somehow Lancelot will be greatful towards Arthur more than he will be towards him. His loyalty will first be towards Arthur and then towards him and that was another reason he steadfastly refused to reinstate Lancelot and also Gwaine( only Merlin knew Gwaine is of noble blood).
