Morgan le Fay: The Woman Who Really Destroyed King Arthur | The Truth Behind the "Evil Witch" I Ep 5

You've watched Arthur's rise. His reign. His fall. His death.

You think you know who destroyed Camelot.

Lancelot? Guinevere? Mordred? Arthur himself?

You're missing someone.

Arthur's half-sister. Morgan le Fay. The woman history calls the "evil witch."

She stole the scabbard—Arthur's immortality. Without it, wounds that should have healed didn't. Blood that should have stopped didn't.

She helped expose the affair. Enabled Mordred's rebellion. Orchestrated everything from the shadows.

But here's what the legends don't tell you:

She was eight years old when she watched her father murdered. Eight when she witnessed Uther's crime against her mother through a vision she couldn't control.

She spent twenty-five years planning revenge for a family no one else remembered.

Villain? Or victim? Monster? Or survivor?

This is the story the legends erased. The woman they turned into a witch because her truth was too uncomfortable.

👑 THE WOMEN ARTHUR'S LEGEND ERASED:
Igraine - Arthur's mother. History remembers her as a plot device. She was a woman whose husband was murdered so a king could claim her.
Morgause - Morgan's sister. Seduced Arthur. Bore Mordred. Killed by her own sons. Remembered as "the seductress."
Guinevere - Married at 15 to a stranger. Fell in love. Condemned for being human. Died of grief.
The Mothers of May Day - 43 women whose babies were drowned. Not even named. Just... erased.
Morgan - Witnessed everything. Planned for 25 years. Destroyed Arthur. Remembered as "the evil witch."

Every legend has victims it doesn't name. This episode names them.

🗡️ THE SCABBARD'S SECRET:
Everyone knows about Excalibur. The famous sword. The symbol of Arthur's power.

But the scabbard? The Lady of the Lake's gift that made Arthur immortal? That stopped his wounds from bleeding?

Morgan didn't steal the sword. She stole the scabbard.

She didn't take his strength. She took his protection.

And that's why he could die at Camlann. That's why Mordred's blade could kill him.

The sword gets the glory. The scabbard did the work.

Morgan understood that. Arthur never did.

❓ THE QUESTION THIS EPISODE ASKS:
Was Morgan right to seek revenge?

Her father was murdered. Her mother was violated. The child born from that crime became king.

She watched. She waited. She destroyed.

Was that justice? Or just more violence in an endless cycle?

There's no answer. Just the question.

What would YOU have done?
