User blog comment:Horselover&rider&owner/Why did Uther lie about Morgana?/@comment-4650675-20120217103438

I would like to make some speculations too, but I don't have to really. There are two possible reasons stated in the episode "The Crystal Cave". The one, told by Uther, is that he "wants to protect Arthur". Now, does this mean protecting him from Morgana's rights? Or maybe from the people, if they knew the truth? I'm not sure. However, I think he was protecting himself the most. The reason that I most believe in is the one Morgana stated. He wants to be the perfect king with no flaws. if he cheated on his beloved wife with a witch while her husband and his best friend was at war then that makes him an awful friend and king. The people would never tolerate something like that, of course.
