At a young age, Morgan is sent to a convent after Arthur's father Uther Pendragon , aided by the half-demon Merlin, kills Gorlois and rapes and marries her mother, who later gives him a son, Arthur which makes him Morgan's younger half-brother.
There, Morgan masters the seven arts and begins her study of magic, going on to specialise in astronomie astronomy and astrology and healing; [57] [67] the Prose Merlin describes her as "wonderfully adept" and "working hard all the time.
Uther or Arthur himself in the Post-Vulgate [14] betroths her to his ally, King Urien of Gor r e described as an Otherworldly northern British kingdom, possibly the historical Rheged.
Now a queen but unhappy with her husband, Morgan serves as a lady-in-waiting for the high queen, Arthur's newly married young wife Guinevere.
At first, Morgan and the also young Guinevere are close friends, even wearing shared near-identical rings. This incident, introduced in the Prose Merlin and expanded in the Vulgate Lancelot [70] and the Post-Vulgate Suite du Merlin the Huth Merlin , [14] begins a lifelong feud between Guinevere and Morgan, who leaves the court of Camelot with all her wealth to seek out Merlin and greater powers.
The pregnant Morgan later gives a birth to Guiomar's son, who is not named in the story but is said to grow up to become a great knight.
She then takes an unnamed knight as her new companion, until she discovers his affair with another woman, which leads to the creation of her magical domain known as the Val sans Retour the Vale of No Return , serving as an enchanted prison for false lovers.
In the Post-Vulgate, where Morgan's explicitly evil nature is stated and accented, she also works to destroy Arthur's rule and end his life, but the reasons for her initial hatred of him are never fully explained other than just an extreme antipathy towards the perfect goodness which he symbolises.
In a conspiracy with the villainous lord Damas, Morgan plans for Accolon to use Arthur's own magic items against him in single combat, so she and her beloved Accolon would become the rulers.
As part of her convoluted plan, both Arthur and Accolon are spirited away from their hunt with Urien by a magical boat of twelve damsels. Confident of her coming victory, Morgan also attempts to murder her sleeping husband Urien with his own sword, but in this act she is stopped by their son Yvain Uwayne , who pardons her when she protests she has been under the devil's power and promises to abandon her wicked ways.
Pursued by Arthur for her betrayal, Morgan throws the scabbard into a lake, before temporarily turning herself and her entourage to stone, the sight of which makes Arthur think they have been already punished by God.
That action of Morgan ultimately causes the death of Arthur, who would otherwise be protected by the scabbard's magic in his final battle.
On her way out, Morgan saves Arthur's knight named Manassen Manessen, Manasses from certain death and enables him to kill his captor when she learns Accolon was Manessen's cousin.
Now banished from Camelot, Morgan retires to her lands in Gore and then to her castle near the stronghold of Tauroc possibly in North Wales.
However, her treacherous attempts to bring about Arthur's demise in the Suite are repeatedly frustrated by the king's new sorceress advisor Ninianne the Lady of the Lake.
Such is the case when Morgan sends Arthur a supposed offering of peace in the form of a rich mantle cloak; Morgan's messenger maiden is made put on the cursed gift and it burns her to cinders.
It is possible that this motif was inspired by classical stories like that how Medea killed her rival for Jason 's affection [74] or how Deianira sent a poisoned tunic to Hercules.
Morgan also uses her skills in dealing with various of Arthur's Knights of the Round Table , especially the greatest of them all, Lancelot, whom she alternately tries to seduce and to expose as Guinevere's adulterous lover.
Her magic aside, Lancelot is always disempowered in his dealings with Morgan as he could never hurt a woman or fight a kin of his king, which allows the writers to make her a perfect foil for Lancelot as "the woman he most feared in the world.
In one variation, she then takes possession of the lance that was used to kill Huneson, enchants it, and sends it to King Mark of Cornwall , her possible lover, [79] who years later uses it to slay Tristan.
Lancelot is Morgan's prime object of sexual desire but he consistently refuses her obsessive advances due to his great love of Guinevere, even as Morgan repeatedly courts, drugs, enchants or imprisons the knight.
Their friendship is further tested when a quarrel over a handsome widower named Berengier captured by Sebile after Morgan kidnapped his child ends in a violent attack by Sebile that leaves Morgan half-dead; Morgan swears revenge, but their relationship is later restored.
Nevertheless, he promises to defend her castle of Fair Guard Belle Garde , where he has been held, for a year and a day, and then dutifully continues to guard it even after the castle gets burned down; [41] [83] this eventually leads to his death.
She also otherwise torments Guinevere, causing her great distress and making her miserable until the Lady of the Lake gives her a ring that protects her from Morgan's power.
But one day, he wanders into Morgan's remote castle while on a hunting trip, and they meet and instantly reconcile with each other.
Morgan welcomes him warmly and the king, overjoyed with their reunion, allows her to return to Camelot, but she refuses and declares her plan to move to the Isle of Avalon, "where the women live who know all the world's magic," to live there with other sorceresses.
However, disaster strikes when the sight of Lancelot's frescoes and Morgan's confession finally convinces Arthur about the truth to the rumours of the two's secret love affair about which he has been already warned by his nephew Agravain.
This leads to a great conflict between Arthur and Lancelot, which brings down the fellowship of the Round Table. The goddess Fortune , who appears to Arthur to foretell his death towards the end the Vulgate Cycle, is regarded by some as a double for Morgan.
Depending on the manuscript, she is either the leading lady usually, being recognised by Girflet as the one holding Arthur's hand as he enters the boat , a subordinate to another who is unnamed, or neither of them are superior.
Arthur steps into her boat after Camlann but assures he is not going to return; his grave is later said to be found mysteriously empty but for his helmet.
Middle English writer Thomas Malory follows the portrayals of Morgan from the Old French prose cycles in his lateth-century seminal work of the selective compilation book Le Morte d'Arthur The Death of Arthur , though he reduces her in role and detail of characterisation, in particular either removing or limiting her traditions of healing and prophecy, and making her more consistently and inherently evil just as he makes Merlin more good.
Nevertheless, she remains a medieval symbol of the potential danger of uncontrolled female power. In Malory's backstory, Morgan has studied astrology as well as nigremancie which might actually mean black magic in general rather than " necromancy " [95] in the nunnery where she was raised, before being married to Urien Uriens as a young teenager; in this narrative she did not study with Merlin.
She also plots an elaborate ambush in "The Book of Sir Tristram de Lyons", after learning of the death of one of her favourites in a tournament, but Tristan ends up killing or routing thirty of her knights when the ambush ends in a disaster.
Morgan is widely feared and hated, so much that "many knights wished her burnt. In an episode that had been first introduced by the anonymous writer of the earlier Prose Lancelot , Lancelot rescues Elaine of Corbenic from being trapped in an enchanted boiling bath by Morgan and the Queen of the Northgales, both envious of Elaine's great beauty echoing Circe 's treatment of Scylla [14].
However, despite all of their prior hostility towards each other and her numerous designs directed against Arthur personally and his own promise to get a terrible revenge on her as long as he lives [58] , Malory's Morgan is still redeemed and is one of the four grieving enchantress queens the others being Nimue, marking the end of conflict between her and Morgan, [96] and two of Morgan's allies, the Queen of the Northgales and the Queen of the Wasteland who arrive in a black boat to transport the wounded king to Avalon in the end.
Unlike in the French and earlier stories on which Le Morte d'Arthur is based, and where Morgan and Arthur would either have first made peace or have just never fought to begin with, here her change of attitude towards him is sudden and unexplained.
Morgan also appears in some other English texts, such as the earlyth-century Anglo-Norman Roman de Waldef where she is only "name-dropped" as a minor character.
Entering her boat she is not named in the scene, but addresses him as her brother , Arthur believes he is going to be healed, yet his tomb is later discovered by Bedivere.
Morgan's importance to this particular narrative has been disputed and called a deus ex machina [] and simply an artistic device to further connect Gawain's episode to the Arthurian legend, but some regard her as a central character and the driving force of the plot.
Morgan further turns up throughout the Western European literature of the High and Late Middle Ages in a variety of roles, generally in works related to the cycles of Arthur the Matter of Britain or Charlemagne the Matter of France.
They often feature Morgan as a lover and benefactor and sometimes opponent, especially when being turned down of various heroes, sometimes also introducing her additional offspring or alternate siblings, or connecting her closer with the figure of the Lady of the Lake.
There, they lure and ensnare many hundreds of young and attractive knights, who then spend the rest of their lives in the palace.
In the legends of Charlemagne, she is associated with the Danish legendary hero Ogier the Dane : following his initial epics, when he is years old, the fairy queen Morgan restores him to his youthful form but removes his memory, then takes him to her mystical island palace in Avalon where Arthur and Gawain are also still alive to be her lover for years.
She later protects him during his adventures in the mortal world as he defends France from Muslim invasion, before his eventual return to Avalon.
The island of Avalon is often described as an otherworldly place ruled by Morgan in other later texts from all over Western Europe, especially these written in Iberia.
In her own tale, Morgana's daughter defeats Gawain Galvano in her giant serpent form before becoming his lover; she and her fairy army then save Gawain from the jealous Guinevere, who wants Gawain dead after having been spurned by him.
She then herself is imprisoned in a magical torment in her mother's glass-and-diamond magical castle Pela-Orso, because of how Morgana wanted to force her to marry Tristan.
Eventually, Gawain storms the castle after three years of siege and frees her from a cursed dungeon, also capturing her tyrannical mother for the same punishment.
It is based on the French prose romances, but here Morgan is a prophetic figure whose main role is to ensure the fulfilment of fate.
The Italian Morgana appears in a number of cantari poems of the 14th to 15th century. Some of these are original new episodes, such as the Cantari di Tristano group's Cantare di Astore e Morgana , in which Morgana heals Hector de Maris Astore and gives an armour made in Hell as well as a magical ship, and the Cantari del Falso Scudo that features her fairy son, the Knight with the Enchanted Shield; the Ponzela Gaia is another telling of the familiar story of Morgana's fairy daughter.
Morgan le Fay, or Fata Morgana in Italian, has been in particular associated with Sicily as a location of her enchanted realm in the mythological landscape of medieval Europe at least since the Norman conquest of southern Italy , [] and local folklore describes her as living in a magical castle located at or floating over Mount Etna.
Floriant, with the help of her magic ship, eventually reunites with Morgan at her castle when he returns there with his wife Florete. During the Italian Renaissance , Morgan has been primarily featured in relation to the cycle of epic poems of Orlando based on Roland of the historical Charlemagne.
In Matteo Maria Boiardo 's lateth-century Orlando Innamorato , fata Morgana initially as lady Fortune [] is beautiful but wicked fairy enchantress, a sister of King Arthur and a pupil of Merlin.
Morgana lives in her paradise-like garden in a crystal cavern under a lake, plotting to eventually destroy the entire world. There, she abducts her favourites until she is thwarted by Orlando who defeats, chases and captures Morgana, destroying her underwater prison and letting her keep only one of her forced lovers, a knight named Ziliante.
It also features the medieval motif where uses a magic horn to convince Arthur of the infidelity of his queen Geneura , here successfully.
Bernardo Tasso 's L'Amadigi further introduces Morgana's three daughters: Carvilia, Morganetta, and Nivetta, themselves temptresses of knights.
It also features three other counterpart characters: Acrasia, Duessa, and Malecasta, all representing different themes from Malory's description of Morgan.
The character Morgan le Fay has become ubiquitous in Arthurian works of the modern era , spanning fantasy , historical fiction and other genres across various mediums, especially since the midth century.
