Morgauseとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Morgause /mɔrˈɡeɪz/, known in earlier works as Gwyar or Anna, is the sister or half-sister of King Arthur in the Arthurian legend. In her earliest appearance she is Arthur's full sister by Uther Pendragon and Igraine; Gwyar is her name and she is the mother of Gwalchmei. In Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain), she is Anna mother of Gawain and the villainous Mordred. In later works she appears as Morgause, daughter of Igraine by her first husband, Gorlois. Later Morgause becomes pregnant with Mordred after sleeping with Arthur while they were unaware of their familial relation. Her husband is King Lot, an enemy of Arthur in the rebellions following Arthur's coronation.
