Uther | Uther was a man of great ambition, and terrible flaws. Strong, cunning, and generous to those who proved themselves worthy, Uther engendered much loyalty in many of his vassals. Still, his jealousy, lust, and foul temper threatened to undo all his great works. Uther was a somewhat lackluster Christian, and often consulted with [[Merlin, Archdruid of England]], who acted as one of the king's chief advisors. | ||

In [[495]], King Uther led his troops in the battle of St. Albans. Uther had been ill for the past three years, ever since his child was stolen by Merlin. The battle was a great victory despite Uther's weakness, however, and a great feast was held to celebrate. The Saxons had poisoned the wine at St. Albans, however, and Uther was murdered by their treachery along with most of the nobles in England. Uther was buried at Stonehenge, between his brother, Aurelius Ambrosius, and his son, Madoc. | |||
