The Matter of Britain

Tintagel Castle, located on the Cornish coast of the UK, is shrouded in mystery and legend. Its history dates back to medieval times, but the site has been occupied since earlier times, with evidence of Roman and Celtic settlement.
The castle's origins date back to the 13th century, when Richard of Cornwall, brother of King Henry III of England, ordered the construction of a castle on his estate, probably around 1233. Richard, son of King John Landless, wanted to legitimise his power and link himself to ancient Celtic traditions, as the area was steeped in myths associated with King Arthur and his knights.
King Arthur is the most important figure associated with Tintagel. According to legend, the castle is said to be the birthplace of Arthur, the result of the union between King Uther Pendragon and Queen Igerna, thanks to the spells of Merlin. This story comes from the work of Geoffrey of Monmouth, the Welsh chronicler who wrote Historia Regum Britanniae in the 12th century, in which he fused history and myth. This gave the castle a legendary importance that endured for centuries.
Despite its symbolic strength, Tintagel Castle was never of significant military importance. Its location was more relevant for its control of trade and connection with other cultures, such as the Celts. Over time, it fell into disuse and the castle fell into disrepair. By the 14th century, it was already in ruins.
In the 19th century, with the rise of romanticism, Tintagel revived as a tourist site, especially because of its link with the Arthurian cycle. The ruins of the castle became an attraction for everyone fascinated by history and legend.
Today, Tintagel Castle is a popular tourist attraction, managed by English Heritage, and continues to captivate visitors seeking to explore its connection to medieval history and the myths of King Arthur, Merlin and the magic of its mysterious past.

Absolutely shocked by the ways in which this version of Geoffrey of Monmouth refers to sexual violence ie saying that Igerna never finds out about how Uther assaulted her and that “From that day on Uther and Igraine lived together as equals bound by mutual affection” (What The Fuck) (perhaps the most horrifying version of Arthur’s birth yet) and YET also uses the word “rape” in text wrt a completely different event unrelated to Arthur entirely: “since in unclean Union he failed to lay with her—she who was my kindred spirit, my life, all my sweetness and light—he raped me instead.” Legitimately fascinating

Tintagel Castle

El castell de Tintagel, situat a la costa de Cornualla (Regne Unit), està envoltat de misteri i llegenda. La seva història es remunta a l’època medieval, però l’indret ha estat ocupat des de temps anteriors, amb evidències d’assentaments romans i celtes.
Els orígens del castell es troben al segle XIII, quan Ricard de Cornualla, germà del rei Enric III d’Anglaterra, va ordenar la construcció d’un castell en el seu emplaçament, probablement al voltant de 1233. Ricard, fill del rei Joan Sense Terra, volia legitimar el seu poder i vincular-se a les antigues tradicions celtes, ja que la zona estava impregnada de mites relacionats amb el rei Artús i els seus cavallers.
El rei Artús és la figura més important associada a Tintagel. Segons la llegenda, el castell seria el lloc de naixement d’Artús, fruit de la unió entre el rei Uther Pendragon i la reina Igerna, gràcies als encanteris de Merlí. Aquesta història prové de l’obra de Geoffrey de Monmouth, el cronista gal·lès que va escriure Historia Regum Britanniae al segle XII, en la qual va fusionar història i mite. Això va donar al castell una importància llegendària que va perdurar durant segles.
Malgrat la seva fortalesa simbòlica, el castell de Tintagel mai no va tenir una importància militar significativa. La seva localització era més rellevant pel control del comerç i la connexió amb altres cultures, com la celta. Amb el temps, va caure en desús i el castell es va deteriorar. Durant el segle XIV, ja estava en ruïnes.
Al segle XIX, amb l’auge del romanticisme, Tintagel va reviure com a lloc turístic, especialment pel seu vincle amb el cicle artúric. Les ruïnes del castell es van convertir en una atracció per a tothom fascinat per la història i la llegenda.
Actualment, el castell de Tintagel és un lloc turístic molt popular, gestionat per English Heritage, i continua captivant visitants que busquen explorar la seva connexió amb la història medieval i els mites del rei Artús, Merlí i la màgia del seu passat envoltat de misteri.

Wait Arthur and Anne grow up together in Uther and Igerna's court in this?
Arthur grew up in Uther's court here!!!
Uther Pendragon being dead, the nobility from several provinces assembled together at Silchester, and proposed to Dubricius, archbishop of Legions, that he should consecrate Arthur, Uther's son, to be their king.
Dubricius, therefore grieving for the calamities of his country, in conjunction with the other bishops, set the crown upon Arthur's head.
Arthur was then fifteen years old, but a youth of such unparalleled courage and generosity, joined with that sweetness of temper and innate goodness, as gained him universal love.
man my life was a lie.
guys you shouldve told me T.T
anyhow this is interesting.

Morte D'Arthur
The final text we discussed in this class was Mallory's Morte D'Arthur, arguably one of the most popular textual interpretations of the King Arthur story. It covers Arthur's birth, which was a result of Uther sleeping with Igerna while in disguise as her husband, all the way to his death and the dissolution of the round table. Book 1 is for the most part an origin story for Arthur, describing his parentage, the sword in the stone, and him coming to be king. Book 8 tells how Lancelot and Guinevere's relationship is uncovered, and the following infighting within the round table, leading to near all the character's deaths. The Arthur story is so well known in contemporary culture, that there are hundreds of different interpretations of it. Here's a list of them.

I just realized an eye-opening possibility:
The Latin version of Igraine's name is Igerne or Igerna. Old French seems to follow this rendering of her name (Ygerne or Igerna)
Ignoring for the moment that the Welsh rendering of Igraine is Eigyr, if you were to imagine it, Igerna would be "Y Gerne" or "Y Cerne".
I'm no etymologist and I certainly don't have complete hang on the historiography of Arthurian Literature, but I thought it might provoke an idea.
Yglais... Y Glais?
"The Stream"?

Since you said Arthurian Fantasy, do you have any headcanons for The Green Knight, and or Merlin?
For The Green Knight:
He uses he and they pronouns.
He would 100% say no to "Is kissing the homies gay?"
They’re actually a human but their wife is Fae and she and Morgan went way back, which is why Morgan selected them for her latest attempt at regicide.
He loves cooking and is often the one who cooks whatever meat he brings home.
They and their wife don’t have any kids, but Gawain will sometimes send random kids there for some help, a nice meal, and a roof over their heads. (They all have a note, which says something like, “Hey, Bertilak, hope you don’t mind housing this kid for a bit. Thanks, you’re the best. -G (ps, can’t wait to visit for x holiday))
He and Gawain exchange cooking recipes and his wife and Gawain exchange healing spells.
They loves dogs and animals, feeding them various scraps (or the best cuts behind their wife’s back-)
Their castle is actually near the border to the Fae world.
For Merlin:
He's a Druid and grew up raised by nature after his clan left him for dead.
He has an inherent sense of the future, knowing vaguely what is going to happen without knowing any minute details.
He had a big crush on Aurelius. He didn't really do anything about it, cause he was best friends with Uther and Aurelius was busy, but after Aurelius was crowned king, he was a bit tipsy and ended up kissing Merlin. They had a few months of bliss together.
Uther had a sort of obsession with Merlin, and Merlin got too deep before realizing it wasn't healthy, which led to him trying to curb Uther's mania while still being too scared to do much about the atrocities committed.
Merlin tried to have a relationship after Aurelius with a sweet woman named Gwendolyn, who was actually a childhood friend of his from a village his clan had once stayed near, but Uther caught wind of it and became very possessive of Merlin.
He had and still has mixed feelings about Uther, which he just sets aside because it hurts too much.
After three failed relationships, he only kept in touch with Ulfius, and he completely shut off any sort of non-business relationships after Ulfius died.
Igerna was actually the one who selected Ector to care for Arthur and Merlin only went with it because he wanted to keep Igerna as happy as possible under the circumstances. (He knew Ector to be a good man, but wanted as little to do as possible with Aurelius’s reign. (He also didn’t want him under Uther’s fire, but knew Ector could handle it.))
He’s sad and lonely and wishes he could leave, but knows he has to protect the crown, as he swore he would to both Uther and Aurelius.
He’s still kept some of Aurelius’s stuff as a reminder to the best part of his life.
Wow, okay, so I went from happy fun times to depressingly sad times, but, eh, such is Arthurian stories. Thank you so much for asking!

I wanna get in on this since it looks like so much fun.
Harry/Ginny - All the names given for Harry and Ginny's kids are well thought out. Lily Ginevra in particular I like. Personally I've always been of the opinion that if they had another girl they should have named her something like Ruby Minerva Potter (after Hagrid and Mcgonagall). No notes, no thoughts.
Hermione/Ron - Love the defense of Hugo. I actually think Hermione would insist upon using her father's middle name for him. Jean Harriet Granger-Weasley is a great option for a female name. I do think the idea was for each to have the first initial of their opposite gender parent (almost certainly Hermione's idea), so I think if I were going down that path and take into consideration both the Arthurian theming of Weasley names and Hermione's love of literature, you get Ragnelle Harriet Granger-Weasley.
Draco/Astoria - Corvus and Regulus as names are both top tier. Something I don't think anyone has pointed out is Scorpius breaks tradition by not having his father or grandfather's name as his middle name. His middle name is Hyperion, which is certainly a choice. Corvus Regulus wouldn't be a bad choice in that case. Sylvie, Berenice, Forsythia, and Alya are all amazing names for daughters. My personal go-tos have been Amalthea (as a reference to the constellation Aries) and Amaryllis (for a flower themed name).
George/Angelina - I don't begrudge them Fred, but it is weird considering Angelina and Fred were together. Roxanne sticks out because of how...modern it feels? Even just compared to Fred. If we're going with that than maybe something like Tiffany instead, modern but connected to the middle ages as is familiar with Weasley names. Fabian and Tiffany Weasley wouldn't be a bad choice for siblings I feel.
Percy/Audrey - I don't know why JK decided not to bring back Penelope if she was going to give Percy a wife. I guess it's more realistic, but still. I agree that Percy would go for something traditionally Weasley. Margaret (nickname Molly) for their eldest daughter then, and I think Igerna for their second daughter (since we know Percy likes a bit of Latin/Greek influence).
Bill/Fleur - Yeah their names were perfect. I like to think Bill is intentionally distancing himself from the Weasley and Prewett ways.
What do you think about Albus Severus in The Cursed Child? And I know they were pretty much ignored by the narrative, but what about James Sirius and Lily Luna? (gosh these names are ridiculous. Is there there anything weirder than naming two of your children after both of your parents who were married and in love?)
Also how come none of Ginny's family is in there??
Okay. If I'm assuming that Harry and Ginny got married young and had their first kid at 23-24... I don't think either of them are going to be especially creative namers. They're just going to go with the most expected thing.
(Harry/Luna is how you get Hawthorn Dobby Xenophilius Potter. Harry/Draco... I think goes with Sirius, because the astronomy name would make Draco happy, and Harry isn't signing off on Scorpius.)
In the wizarding world, the most common thing seems to be to use your name/your grandparents' names as your kids' middle names. Bill is 'William Arthur,' presumably Charlie is named after his paternal grandfather, Percy is 'Percy Ignatius' and I'd be very surprised if Molly's father wasn't called Ignatius Prewett. By the time they get to Ron they're pulling in Arthur's brother (or potentially uncle) Billius.
So Harry and Ginny would just do that. They also seem to have this desire to name the kids after people who have died, and so keep their memory alive that way. Okay.
If no one else is using Fred's name, I think that's the name of their first son. I think Ginny insists on it. In which case (following the pattern established by the world) he would be Fred(rick) Harry Potter.
If someone else is using the name Fred (or George has communicated that he feels uncomfortable with this) I think Harry names his son Sirius, not James. First - I think he'd be saving 'James' for a middle name, because That Is What You Do. Also, there'd be political utility to going with Sirius. Sirius' name was never officially cleared, and I think that no matter what else happens, Harry would be on that post-war. So Sirius Harry Potter.
I think it's in character - I don't think it's healthy, but I do think it's in character - for Harry to attempt to work through his complicated feelings about Albus Dumbledore by naming a son after him, and I think Ginny has positive enough associations with Dumbledore that this wouldn't raise any red flags. But there is NO way she is signing off on 'Severus.' It be very 'I understand that you have complicated feelings about him Harry, but you cannot deny that he was a miserable bastard who bullied me and all my friends, and it's not fair to put that on a kid. Also, you're sort of implying that Snape is your father or something if you do that.'
Which leaves number two named Albus James Potter.
I do think they go with Lily for their daughter, there's no talking Harry out of that. But her middle name is going to be Ginevra, after her mother.
tl;dr - Taking what we know about common wizarding naming conventions, and what we know about Harry and Ginny as people, I think their kids would more realistically be called:
Sirius Harry Potter (or Fredrick Harry Potter)
Albus James Potter (or Sirius James Potter)
Lily Ginevra Potter

Of course! I would love to! It became a bit longer than I was expecting, but I had fun writing it. without further ado, more headcanon here we go:
Continuation of this:
- Arthur is about 1 or 2 years older them Merlin
- In Camelot it is tradition for rulers to have two kids, so if the firstborn is, for some reason, not able to take the throne, the second kid will (the “an heir and a spare” idea from medieval times). If the firstborn does take the throne, the secund born normally take some important administrative or military post at the kingdom.
- In this universe people know that Arthur is the true heir of Camelot.
- Merlin and Arthur received the same formal education in their first years, but Merlin took magic was a hobby and became really invested in it whereas Arthur took sword fighting and showed a lot of talent as a strategist, so they end up focusing the specifics of their educations on those different areas. That is why their fighting styles are so different.
- Also because of those different focusses their where send to study in different parts of the kingdom when they where teenagers that is way their accents are different from one another (I know this is probably not how accents work, but I could not find any other good excuse)
- They are both sons of King Uther Pendragon and Queen Igerna (Duchess Igerna, before been queen).
I saw this image of the concept art book of the movie and this gave me some ideas:

- Uther is a little bit of an oddity in Camelot because he is actually not the firstborn. His older brother, Ambrosio Pendragon, was the archetypical tyrannical fairy tale king. So, Uther, some disgruntled noble (Duchess Igerna been one of them) and a lot of the peasant population dethroned him and putted Uther on the throne.
- Merlin resented Arthur for the fact the he (Merlin) would be stuck on been a prince where his brother could one day become king. At first, he tried not to show it, because he knew it was not Arthur’s fault directly, but some noble in their court started to take notice of it and decided to play the siblings against it other, in hopes of getting more power as a reward for who ever came out on top.
- Fortunetly Uther and Igerna realized what was going on before another full out civil war broke in Camelot, Unfortunately the relationship between the brother was pretty tarnished to the point that learning about the plan to put one against the other was not enough to make them friends again.
- So, their parents, along with the help of fairy friend of them, the Lady of the Lake, send the brothers on a quest, so they would learn a lesson on friendship
- However, some of the scheming noble the King and Queen where not able to catch, with the help of an evil warlock (a real one this time, not a fairy that happens to be green), made so that the quest would be way longer and more dangerous that it should be originally
- The idea of evil plan was to just kill the siblings so the nobles and the warlock would be able to carve the kingdom between them when the king and queen died without an heir. That ended up backfired spectacularly because, not only the boys survived, the longer adventure healed the relation between them in a way that the original quest was not able to (even thought there was some rivalry left, like we saw in the movie), they met some of the people that would become the original F7 in the journey AND it gave more time for the good noble of Camelot to find out about the evil plot.
- At some point in the adventure Arthur offered Merlin to divide the kingdom between them once he became king. Merlin was a bit divided on the idea at this point, because he secretly blamed his envy of the throne for the fight that got then in this mess to begin with, but Arthur told him that they where both to blame, since the evil nobles would not have been able to turn him against Merlin if he himself didn’t envy his younger brother for been seen as the “smart one of the family”. When Merlin married Snow and Arthur eventually broke his curse, they decided to not split the kingdom anymore, because Merlin would end up been a king anyway (and historically speaking, dividing a kingdom between its heir is often a bad move).
----
Any way that is it, hope you guys liked.
By the way, even if I took some names from the Arthurian mythos there is little to no relation to the actual story aside for the names, I just thought it would be cool to do a nod to the original story
