Talk:Gorlois

Relationship Family tree question?
''It is extremely unlikely Gorlois is the father of Morgause, the evidence for this being that Gaius described Morgause as Morgana's half-sister, when it was still thought that Gorlois was Morgana's father, whereas if she was Gorlois' daughter, she would've been described as Morgana's sister. The bracelet was probably given to her by Vivienne. Probably because of the dangers of the Great Purge, Gaius was asked to smuggle her out of Camelot after she was born and give her to the high priestesses of the Old Religion. Uther was led to believe that Morgause had died shortly after her birth. ''

Uther reveals Morgana's parentage in Season 3 Episode 5 (which is new news to Gaius, Morgana AND Morgause), and Uther and Gaius discuss Morgause's parentage in Season 2 Episode 8.

S02E08

Morgana - Uther's 'ward' - presumed daughter of Gorlois and Vivienne

Morgause - daughter of Vivienne + Mr. X - sees Morgana as her full sister (same mother confirmed through healing bracelet) - is seen as Morgana's HALF-sister by Gaius (based on the above deception)

Q. Is it possible for Gaius to have known that Vivenne conceived Morgause by ANOTHER man, and not Gorlois?

S03E05

Morgana - revealed as Uther's daughter - confirmed daughter of Uther and Vivienne

Morgause - sees Morgana has her HALF-sister now

What has changed is the revelation of Morgana's father to be Uther, and not Gorlois by Vivienne - which confirms Gaius' statement earlier in Season 2. The puizzling thing is that there is little or no evidence of MAN NO. 3 in Vivienne's life... and were any children fathered by Gorlois?

Morgause always knew Morgana was her half-sister, regardless of her father being Uther or Gorlois, as neither of them is Morgause's father, but thought no differently of her than she would have if Morgana was her full sister. And I don't think Gorlois has had any children, unless they haven't been mentioned or died.Morganamagic7 16:58, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

Gorlois' death not accidental?
I've been thinking about this for some time, maybe Gorlois' death was not an unfortunate mishap. Uther said himself that Gorlois often challegend him and his dicissions. Uther ofcourse also bedded his best fried's wife with Morgana as a result. We have seen what Uther does to those who challege him, also if Gorlois had ever found out the truth about Morgana he might just have turned on Uther and convinced others to do so as well. So maybe Pendragon senior decided to just let his friend die and save himself a world of trouble.
