Sadly, Gorlois was driven away by Uther's lust for Ygraine, and civil war was inevitable. By [[491]], Logres was at war with the Duchy of Cornwall. Madoc was slain by Gorlois at [[Terrabil]], but was avenged by the Ursine Brotherhood, who slew Gorlois. Uther entered a severe state of anguish after his son's death, much worsened by the sense of responsibility the king felt for starting the war over his lust in the first place. Still, Uther did marry Ygraine, the target of his carnal desires, and appears to already have sired another child with her.
In [[492]], Ygraine bore Uther a son, but the child was stolen by Merlin. The Ursine Brotherhood was tricked into providing a distraction for Merlin's escape and were tried for treason, though they were able to convince the court of their innocence and Uther declared that they were victims in this affair, not perpetrators.
