User blog comment:Morgana High Priestess/Which reign is better: Uther's or Arthur's?/@comment-5933518-20130120235922/@comment-5933518-20130121113428

I agree with you :) Concerning Essetir, it was Morgause's fault not Uther's nor Arhur's.

About Caerleon; Uther and Caerleon's father had a peace contract indeed, but it was broken after Caerleon's father died and the two kingdoms headed to war. Also, Uther chased Caerleon and tracked him down in the castle of Fyrien. Since then, the two kingdoms have not been allies and Caerleon invaded Camelot when Arthur was already a king. Caerleon refused to sign the treaty, so Arthur killed him and then the war began. Arthur managed to sign a peaceful contract with Queen Annis, so basically Arthur  provoked war where   there was not peace  a fter all  and he eventually  brought peace with the kingdom of Caerleon.

On your last point, you are absolutely right. Arthur was lucky. But it doesn't matter what would have happened, but what really happened. And what happened was that Arthur eventually achieved a peaceful contract with the kingdom of Nemeth. There is no point in referring to things that didn't actually happen.
