Igraine From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Arthurian legend, Igraine is the mother of King Arthur . She is also known in Latin as Ige rna, in Welsh as Eigyr, in French as Igerne, in Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur as Ygrayne (often modernized as Igraine) and in Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival as Arnive. She is the wife of Uther Pendragon, but her first husband was Gorlois; her daughters by him are Elaine, Morgause, and Morgan le Fay. ------------------------------------------------------------------
She was the daughter of Amlawdd Wledig (the Imperator), a member of a younger branch of the R oyal House of Dumnonia. He was probably a nobleman of Ergyng, though he has also been attached to the North of Britain and Brittany. His family are central to the Mabinogion story of "Culhwch and Olwen". As well as Arthur, various sources have attributed Ygerna with several children by her first marriage: daughters Elaine, (Anna) Morgause and, perhaps mistakenly, Morgan; sons Gormant and, mistakenly, Cador.
