Mordred or Modred (/ ˈ m ɔːr d r ɛ d / or / ˈ m oʊ d r ɛ d /; Welsh: Medraut or Medrawt) is a major figure in the legend of King Arthur.The earliest known mention of a possibly historical Medraut is in the Welsh chronicle Annales Cambriae, wherein he and Arthur are ambiguously associated with the Battle of Camlann in a brief entry for the year 537.
Mordred is the traitorous, illegitimate son of King Arthur Pendragon of Camelot and his sister Morgause, born somewhere in the Orkney Isles of Great Britain.He was one of the Knights of Camelot in Britain of the 6th Century, A.D. Merlin warned Arthur that Mordred would be responsible for the end of Camelot, but before Arthur could put the baby to death, he was rescued and raised in anonymity.
Mordred is a major exception to this tradition of a childless death for Arthur's sons.

However, it does not mention either hers or Gawain's relation to Mordred (again described only as Arthur's nephew). According to John Fordun's 14th-century Scottish chronicle, Chronica Gentis Scotorum, Anna was the rightful heir to the throne (since Arthur was merely Uther's bastard son), and so was, consequently, hers and Lot's son Mordred ...
In contrast to traditional versions, Stephen R. Lawhead's Pendragon Cycle makes Uther's brother Aurelius, whose widow he marries, Arthur's true father. In Marion Zimmer Bradley's Mists of Avalon, Uther is the nephew of Aurelianus instead of his brother; while Aurelianus is the son of a Roman Emperor, Uther has no Roman blood.
Lionel is slain by Mordred's young son Melehan; Bors avenges his death. His symbolic [ 1 ] namesake, Lyonnel, appears in the quasi-prequel Perceforest . There, he is an ancestor of both Lancelot and Guinevere as well as Tristan , who had lived in the time of King Alexander ( Alexander the Great ).
