The only thing with this is other than between season 2 n 3, 4 n 5, we don't know how many years was skipped. A the beginning of Season 4 someone makes a comment about Uther being the way he was for months. If it has been a year why not say it. Im not saying all this is wrong, but I'm thinking they are all about a year or two younger than what we think.
