madamcameron:Mythological & Legendary Queens {¼}Morgana Pendragon, Queen of Albion (b.565?-d.593?)In the late 6th century King Aidan MacGabran had a daughter called Morgein, Morgein meaning sea birth, which can also be translated to what we mainly know Morgana or Morgan. The ‘history’ that we know about Morgana is that she is based on an Irish mythological Goddess, Morrigen. In reality she is not just a half-sister of Arthur, but also the wife of Urien Rheged, who ruled from the Cumbrian area in the late sixth century and fought against the growing strength of the Angle kings of Bernicia. He fought and lost and soon Northumbria was born. This was the period of 580-590 CE. It is even though to be known that she spent most of her childhood in Irish Dal Riada. -- source link
