Perhaps this isn't the first time someone has postulated this, but it always irks me when Morgana says that the throne is rightfully hers. On what does she base this?

If basic logic follows, Arthur's birth begins the purge. Morgause is smuggled out of Camelot at birth, presumably because of her magical potential, to be raised by the High Priestesses. Thus, this would have happened during the year of the purge, when Arthur was an infant himself, making Morgause 0-12 months younger than Arthur. As Morgause is the elder daughter of Vivienne, Morgana by default, is born after the purge, therefore, after Arthur.

And, considering Kilgharrah is trapped at the end of the year-long purge, and Balinor and Hunith probably didn't just rush into things, Merlin is at the least, two years younger than Arthur.

Right?
