User blog:It's Good to be the Queen/Gwen's Revenge - a Pendragon heir

In 5 x 06 we see Gwen remembering the loss of her father (at the hands of Uther Pendragon) and now her brother Elyan is gone thanks to Morgana. Gwen has no one left but Arthur now, but she has been enchanted and she now hates her husband. We know Gwen will be free of the spell and I think she will want revenge. The rest here is speculation: the sub theme of this episode is family and how Tom the blacksmith started the line. The next generation has risen quite high; the son was a knight of the Round Table and the daughter is the queen of Camelot. Sadly, the family name of the blacksmith (whatever it was) ends with Elyan's death. But the line carries on through Gwen's and Arthur's child, the next monarch of Camelot.

In an earlier blog of mine I wanted Gwen to take the fight to Morgana and make her pay for the things she's done to her and her family. But upon second thought, I can't think of a better way to stick it to Morgana: the grandchild of a blacksmith, the child of a former serving girl, is the legitimate heir to the throne. Gwen could have become pregnant before the enchantment and kidnapping, or conceived while under Morgana's influence (that would be a hoot). Can you see the hissy fit Morgana would throw? All Morgana's flimsy claims to the crown would die on the vine. No one would side with her for taking the throne; they are not going to disinherit the child. Morgana of course would try to make Gwen miscarry or kill the infant at birth, but Merlin would make sure the baby is protected by magic. This would be a big F- U to Uther; the ghost would be whirling in his grave knowing common blood has mixed with the royal Pendragon line. (Considering that Uther's co-mingling with another man's wife produced a witch that is the terror of the Five Kingdoms, Ghost Uther is in no position to talk.)

I know the writers said, and Angel too, that there would be no baby. But they didn't exactly say there would be no pregnancy. It would be a nice plot twist, out of a tragedy hope would be born, to carry on the legacy of Albion, and evil loses once again.

'HRH Prince Thomas Elyan Pendragon - the Crown Prince of Camelot. '

HRH Princess Ygraine Pendragon - the Princess Royal of Camelot.

They have nice rings to them. (Sorry if I'm wrong on the royal address.)
