No, unfortunately, he appeared in one episode only. I was wondering where he was when Uther was depressed and broken for a year (or when he died, for that matter) because to me it seemed that Godwyn and Uther were pretty good friends. I would have liked him to be mentioned again, at least.

As for the horn, I've never thought of it. Assumingly, it simply stayed where it was and the resurrected unicorn just had a new one. No idea.

You have a point. If people had left Camelot or if  many of them had died, soon the army wouldn't have had anyone to protect, except the kingdom itself and the royal household (including the army itelf). On the other hand, if the army had become weak, the citizens would have been at the mercy of potential conquerors/attackers.

It was quite a dilemma. Yet I think Arthur's idea to ask other kingdoms for help was the most sensible one since in such situations it's often a better idea to solve one problem at a time, all step by step. People starving was the present situation and it was a priority because at that time, there weren't any attackers yet.

BUT.... the army consisted of people too. They actually had the same right to live as the commoners had. Plus, Arthur often thought in short terms whereas Uther considered future consequences.
