I never thought about it! :D

But I know that in many books (novels) recently written th authors like to explain this fact by: Morgause is queen and she rules over it; Gaheris or Agravaine returns to rule over it; Lothian is actually under Arthur’s rule and he conquered it after Lot’s death.

In Malory Lothian is killed by Pellinore (and this is the reason why Gawain kills Pellinore during a tournament) and Morgause becomes Lamorak’s lover (Lamorak is Pellinore’s son)… so when Gaheris finds Morgause and Lamorak in bed together he beheads his mother.

Some arthurian stuff from tvtrope

Okay, I was reading this page so I am quoting my favourite things <3

• Sir Bedivere: Arthur’s oldest companion, besides Kay; Bash Brothers with Kay and vice-versa. As the spotlight shifts to other (newer) characters, both remain Arthur’s court officials.
• Sir Kay: Arthur’s foster brother, originally a Boisterous Bruiser, later the Butt Monkey; also The Big Guy (literally “The Long Man” in Welsh).
• Galahad: The Messiah and an early Marty Stu.
• The Orkney Brothers (Gawain, Agravaine, Gaheris, Gareth and Mordred): Five-Man Band
• The Hero: Gawain
• The Lancer: Agravain
• The Smart Guy: Mordred (though he swaps roles with Agravain later on.)
• The Big Guy: Gaheris
• The Chick: Gareth

Day 08: Write down the plot of an arthurian coffee shop au

I’d want to give the Orkney boys lots of attention, as usual. Maybe the Orkney family runs the coffee shop, so all the brothers are there, and Arthur is a business exec who basically trolls the shop…

ARTHURIAN MEME: Day 07: Hopes for the perfect arthurian tv show

Well, I truly loved storytellerknight’s and lucrecia’s ideas. But if you ask me…I would love to see the story told from Orkneys’ POV (and by Orkneys I mean Morgause too).The plot would resolve around brothers, each one of them. Yes, Gaheris too. 

Parential issues are always fine for tv shows, aren’t they? And look, Lot and Morgause’s marriage, life at their court (because well, Lothian is a kingdom too), relationship between Agravaine and his mother. See? Soap-opera!

Random arthurian name

From Alan Lupack’s dictionary

Gaheris (Guerrehet) Gaheris is one of *Gawain’s
brothers, a son of *Lot and *Morgause.
According to the Post-Vulgate Cycle and Malory,
Gaheris kills his mother when he finds her in bed
with *Lamorak. (In T H. White’s The Once and
Future King (1958), it is not Gaheris but rather
* Agravaine who kills his mother.) Gaheris, along
with his brother *Gareth, is ordered by Arthur to
form part of the guard that takes *Guinevere to
the stake. The brothers are unable to refuse
Arthur’s command but insist on going ‘in pesyble
wyse’ (that is, without armour). In the confusion
of the rescue, *Lancelot kills both Gareth and
Gaheris.
