![]() ![]() While both of these characters are married to Lot, the mother of Gawain, and always meet Arthur at some point in the king’s life, these women are practically different characters. However, in the more modern versions of King Arthur legends, Morgause is typically an enchantress or witch of some sort who tries to seduce Arthur in order to help her husband.

King Lot’s wife was sent to spy on Arthur, but after she meets with him she confesses that her husband sent her as a spy and purposely leaves Gawain, her eldest son, with Arthur so Arthur can use him as a hostage against Lot. The paragraph described the visitation of King Lot’s wife to Camelot after Arthur beat back Lot and his allies. Enchanted was inspired by a paragraph I read in King Arthur and His Knights by Sir James Knowles. ![]()
