Different versions about Arthurian legend

As I wrote before, there are a lot of different versions of the legend of King Arthur. This time, I will write some about some of the main differences between versions. Please, if you have any questions or want to share something or even correct me of something write a comment.

Differences: 

1) Excalibur: - In the most popular version, King Arthur pulls the sword from a stone where his father, Uther, stucked before dying. 

                      - In one version taken from some books as Bernard Cornwell's book, Merlin gave Excalibur to Arthur in condition that he would serve the old gods' will.

                      - There are other stories where Excalibur was not stucked in a stone but in Uther's grave.

                      - The last difference is that in some films and books as "The Mists of Avalon", there is no event of stucking the blade in a stone, and Uther had never had Excalibur. The sword was given only to Arthur by the Lady of the Lake, who lives in a lake named Avalon.

2)Avalon: - In the most popular versions, Avalon is a lake where The Lady of the Lake lives.

                 - In other versions, Avalon is a land where high priestresses of the old gods live and it is the place where they train their powers.

 3) Morgana: - In some versions, Morgana is an evil wizzard and Arthur's sister. She conceived Arthur's son, Mordred.

                      - In another version, Morgana loves Arthur as family but she was forced to make love with him without knowing that he was her brother. She was forced to conceive a child to grant that Albion is secured by a creation of two strenghts: Morgana and Arthur Pendragon. This was planned in a time called Beltanne by Merlin and the Lady of the Lake.


I will write about more differences in the next week...
