Of Arthurian legend, Mordred is the son and nephew of King Arthur. Son and nephew because King Arthur made the mistake of having sex with his own sister; therefore the general public thought Mordred was bad blood. Then Merlin, a prophet/wizard/whatever, predicted King Arthur's own son would someday kill him, so King Arthur sent 40 of his baby sons out to sea to die. Only one survived; Mordred. Mordred was raised by a fishermother and fisherfather, then taken away by a sorceress named Nyneve to live with Mordred's mother in the Kingdom of Lothian. At age 15, Mordred went to serve as a knight to King Arthur. He was invited to the round table. At age 27, Mordred died. Merlin's prediction was true; in the Battle of Camlann, King Arthur stabbed Mordred in the stomach, causing it to go all the way through his body. But at the last second, Mordred crushed King Arthur's head with a sword. This left Mordred dead, and King Arthur mortally wounded. Now, in MY opinion, I think Mordred would NEVER had killed King Arthur if everyone didn't treat him as if he was a cursed child; In the book "I Am Mordred" by Nancy Springer, it explains much of this, but anyway, Mordred was shunned as, when he was little and nobody accepted him. Had not people avoided him, had not people feared him, had not King Arthur sent all his babies to die, they both would have lived and died peacefully. I advise you to read "I Am Mordred" by Nancy Springer if you want to learn more. It's a great book. Urban Dictionary

Mordred was first mentioned in the Annales of Cambriae, where it was said that Mordred died alongside Arthur. However, it does not mention whether or not they were on the same side, or even their relationship with each other. Notheless, Mordred was later branded as King Arthur’s treacherous nephew by Geoffrey of Monmouth. And then as his so-called “bastard son” by the French prose cyclical authors. Who were anything but faithful to their sources. In the medieval ages, Mordred was typically seen as an unsympathetic, and a generic-power hungry villain who wanted the throne. Though, he was sometimes seen as a hero in welsh and Scottish sources. Now, Mordred is sometimes seen as a sympathetic and a misunderstood anti-hero in a few modern retellings. Usually by demonizing King Arthur or someone else. These authors typically follow the French prose cycles, which was French Cistercian propaganda, where the “english” heroes were demonized for being “english” heroes, and where the now- demonized-French Arthur ordered the May Day massacre. But omit the part where Arthur changes his mind and the infants are miraculously saved from living in towers. Urban Dictionary
