Bretewalda (Temporary Title)

CELTS:

UTHER PENDRAGON King of Dumnonia (Modern day Cornwall) Accent: Cornish, quite rough but still refined as he’s royalty. Brief history: The most powerful and respected king in Britain, this earned him the title Bretewalda among the other kingdoms. Uther’s elder brother Aurelius inherited the throne when their father Constantine the Second died. His brother, later poisoned by a saxon spy, leaves the role of King of Dumnonia to Uther. He lead successful attacks on Ireland and the Saxons, with the help of a subject Gorlois, Duke of Cornwall. Unfortunately, on one banquet celebrating the Saxons’ dwindling numbers, he meets Gorlois’ wife Igraine: the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. They have an affair, which Gorlois quells with threats of war. Igraine, however, kills her husband (an arranged marriage she was displeased with, plus Gorlois had become infertile and she had no son). She marries Uther, and they have a son Arthur. Along to the family she brings her five year old daughter Morgana, Gorlois’ daughter, who becomes Uther’s step-daughter.

LINES Around forty years old “So be it. Arthur will go to Wales, where my cousin can raise him to be a worthy heir.” “My blood is too much tainted with their Saxon blood to ever consider peace! Leave, and do not ever come back to me with such outrageous talk.” Around fifty years old “What is happening? An ambush?”

ARTHUR PENDRAGON King of Dumnonia Accent: Cornish, more mellow and subdued than his father’s because of Welsh upbringing. Several variations of the quote could be in store, as we follow Arthur from age 6-40. Exact ages we see him at found underneath. Brief history: After an attempt on Arthur’s life when he was six, his father sent him to his King cousin in Wales. Arthur is brought up there, as Prince Arthur heir apparent. He later inherits the throne from his Father, but after discovering his sins he becomes a christian, as Jesus forgives where the celtic Gods do not. This leads every other kingdom to despise him.

LINES Six years old: “Mother? Where are we going?” Around fifteen, discovering he has slept with his sister: “Gods… What! Morgana? H… How? This can’t be… This can’t be…” Around twenty years old: “He was nearing the end of his life, but this news is still a blow. I’ve never heard of Saxons so far in-land.” Around thirty years old: “I, Uther Pendragon, offer the hand of my fair sister Morgana to your son. May they live long and bear many children!”

MORGANA PENDRAGON / LAFAY Chief Priestess of the Mother Accent: Sweet and seductive, perhaps slight irish tinge (unless it doesn’t work). She is a highly intelligent woman, and strong-willed. Several variations of the quote could be in store, as we follow Morgana from age 11-45. Exact ages we see her at found underneath. Brief history: After the attempt on Arthur’s life, Morgana’s aunt Vivianne (Noble of Irish Kingdom and Priestess of the Mother, a celtic Goddess) proposes to have her come with her to Ireland and teach her the ways of the celtic pagan faith. Uther and Morgana both accept, and she becomes one. Later on, as Vivianne is getting older, she suggests Morgana, who proves how intelligent and devout she is, should succeed her as Chief Priestess. She accepts, and a several year training begins: sealed by, to please the Mother, a one-night stand with one of noble blood. This fertility rite, unbeknownst to Morgana, involves Arthur, her brother. They lay together, and then in the morning recognize each other: horrified, Arthur returns to Wales, and Morgana discovers two months later she is pregnant.

LINES Eleven “Where is Ireland? It sounds so far away…” Eighteen “I would not say I am ready, no. But it is the god’s choice, above all, and not mine to make.” Around thirty Accolon, the son of her husband, has discovered her affair with his brother and has threatened to tell him and have her burnt to death if she does not sleep with him. On a hunting trip in the woods alone, she follows him and impales him with a boar’s tusk, making it look like a hunting accident. “You were a fool to try and rape me, Accolon. Never underestimate a powerful woman.”

Igraine Duchess of Cornwall Queen of Dumnonia Accent: Cornish, thick accent but not unpleasant. Slightly noble background, Bio: Stunningly beautiful. A sister of Vivianne’s and Morgause’s, she married Gorlois in an arranged marriage. She hated him. Subsequently she had an affair with Uther when they met at a banquet, and then pushed her husband off a castle battlement.

LINES Mid-forties: “Marry for the love you bear her, Arthur, not how prestigious her father is.”

Gorlois: Duke of Cornwall Accent: Thick cornish accent, an angry and obtuse man. Like unrefined, bitter salt.

LINES Challenging Uther to a fight: “You take my fame. Fuck my wife behind my back. Treat me like a mule! This is the end, Uther. Take up your spear!”

Guenevere: Queen of Dumnonia Accent: British accent. Mellow and noble, soft-spoken and shy from daddy issues. Father didn’t love her and she never had a mother, so she was brought up in a cold environment and is damaged mentally. Has a speech impediment, and sometimes stops at strange places in sentences. Also has mild aphasia. Short bio: Brought up by a father who never loved her, she is intensely anxious, shy, has panic attacks and agoraphobia. Her inability to have a child with Arthur sends her into depression and she cheats on him with Lancelot, a celtic general.

LINES Thoughts (thought): What will I do...? If I can't bear him a child, we'll live in shame... It could even spark up a revolution!"

Lancelot: Respected general, quiet and grim. Reserved. Accent: Irish. Noble upbringing, and eventually a Prince as he marries Guenevere’s sister (equally beautiful but unkind) sister Elaine. He at first as a quite noble accent but then goes full on to try and impress Guenevere. Short bio: Vivianne’s son and Morgana and Arthur’s cousin. Fears his mother and most strong woman like Morgana, so falls for soft Guenevere. He is also ashamed of his homosexuality with Arthur, and later Accolon.

LINES Around 14 years old: "Milady... Are you the new priestess?" Around 40 years old: "Arthur... Would you truly lather your hands in my blood for a petty dispute?"

Gwydion/Mordred: Respected druid, rarely gets angry, but when he does… Earned the nicknamed “Mordred” from the Saxons, meaning Evil counsel. He adopts this name to travel through Britain with no one recognizing him. Accent: Almost undetectably scottish accent as he often travelled outside of Scotland, not allowing him enough time to adopt their accent fully. Slurrs when angry. Short bio: Arthur and Morgana’s bastard born of incest. Kidnapped from his mother by Morgause, Queen of Lothian (Scotland today), he is raised as a celtic pagan Druid and is madly devout to the faith. At first he seeks out his father, but things get a bit tense when he learns Arthur converted to Christianism. Also, his incest psychopath genes kick in at around that time. Around twenty: "My name is Gwydion. Son of Queen Morgana, a druid to the Gods. I come to you with an... offer."

Morgause Queen of Lothian Accent: Scottish, quite plain voice. The least beautiful (rather homely) sister of the trio, she is respected as a powerful Queen and a fearsome woman. Her voice is authorative and commanding. Short bio: Jealous of her two sisters and power hungry. She kidnaps Gwydion from his mother, hoping to raise him as a vehicle to kill Arthur as she can bear no children of her own. She seeks power and her own interests, and will stop at nothing to obtain these.

In her late forties: "Morality is of no importance. It does not play a part in the happenings of our kingdom, as you'll recall. You will kidnap the child, no matter the consequences."
