I agree, ReganX. Unfortunately, pretending a shiny happy world in the dark ages where the King marries a serving girl and where commoners are being knighted against the nobility's wishes and codex was one of the examples for turning the once so interesting plots about social problems and all the shades of grey into a simplistic and naive fairytale that lacked of the former depth big time.

Arthur's attempt to bring about at least a bit more equality could have been demonstrated in a more intelligent and meaningful way, whether he succeeds in the end or not. By making only one character seemingly responsible for differences in classes (Uther) which wasn't believable, the audience could point a finger at just one character instead of bothering themselves about logic and sense. At the same time it distinguished Arthur from Uther since Arthur didn't lift the ban of magic but was supposed to be so much kinder.
