Queen Ygraine of Logres is the wife of King Uther of Logres, and the widow of Duke Gorlois of Cornwall. She is a ravishing beauty and men who see her are often enchanted by her grace and charm. She has been lusted after by many men. She also served as the Marshall of Cornwall, leading Gorlois's troops in battle. She is a fierce warrior - in contrast to her more bookish first husband. In those ways, she is more similar to Uther himself, a well-renowned warlord.
Personality
Arguably the most beautiful woman in all of Britain, Ygraine is a highly sexual being who is completely comfortable with her body and its effects on those around her. She is extremely loyal to Duke Gorlois, never betraying him throughout their marriage. She cares deeply about her family, particularly her 3 daughters - Morgawse, Elaine, and Morgan.
Important Deeds of Note
In 490 she participated in the Battle of Lincoln as one of the commanders, leading the left flank. She fought and defeated Eosa the Giant.
In 491 her husband, Gorlois, was slain in battle and the castle Terrabil was taken by Uther's forces. Ygraine was forced to surrender when Tintagel was surrounded by the armies of Logres and her husband's fate was revealed. Curiously, she was heard protesting that this was not possible, as he was with her at Tintagel the night he was killed.
Later that year, Ygraine was married to Uther and became Queen of Logres. She was noted to be visibly pregnant.
Ygraine gave birth in 492, but the child was stolen by Merlin.
