Ygraine

Ygraine
If you like this character, let us know!
Ygraine, (ou Ygerne, Igerne en ancien français, Igraine en Anglais) est un personnage du cycle arthurien, femme du duc de Cornouailles. Le roi Uther Pendragon, fou amoureux d'elle, a recours à la magie de Merlin pour s'unir à Ygraine une nuit, d'où est né le roi Arthur. Avec son époux Gorlois de Tintagel, elle donne naissance à trois filles, Élaine, Morgause et Morgane. Elle épouse Uther après la mort de son mari.

Alors qu'il s'agissait à l'origine d'un personnage bénéficiant d'envergure et de pouvoir décisionnel, les textes plus tardifs de la littérature arthurienne la décrivent comme une femme soumise, répondant aux canons de l'amour courtois.

The sorcerer Merlin retrieves Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake for Uther Pendragon, who secures a brief alliance with Gorlois, the Duke of Cornwall. Uther's lust for Cornwall's wife Igrayne soon ruins the truce, and Merlin agrees to help Uther to seduce Igrayne on the condition that he gives Merlin whatever results from his lust. Merlin transforms Uther into Cornwall's likeness with the Charm of Making. Cornwall's daughter Morgana senses her father's mortal injury during his assault on Uther's camp and, while Igrayne is fooled by the disguise and Uther impregnates her, Morgana sees through it, watching Uther as Cornwall dies in battle. Nine months later, Merlin takes Uther's son Arthur. Uther pursues but is mortally wounded by Gorlois' knights. Uther thrusts Excalibur into a stone, and Merlin proclaims, "He who draws the sword from the stone, he shall be king.
