The Once and Future King

[queer-ragnelle]

hiii L! wonder if you could answer something that’s been bugging me– if Tintagel is in Cornwall, and where Igraine hid from Uther, how does Mark end up in possession of it later?

Hey there!

From what I can tell, it’s just a Malory oversight.

Tintagel is mentioned in The History of the King’s of Britain, but Mark isn’t the Duke of Cornwall; first it’s Caradoc, then Gorlois, then Cador, etc.

In the Post-Vulgate, Mark was crowned King of Cornwall at age 17, but he doesn’t live at Tintagel. In fact, Tintagel isn’t in the Post-Vulgate at all (it’s in The Story of Merlin, at the beginning of Vulgate, but Mark isn’t a character until Post).

Tintagel returns in Le Morte d’Arthur, first mentioned in association to Gorlois and Igraine, then later said to be King Mark’s castle in book 8. It’s not explained how he obtained it. He just… lives there now.

So I guess we can make a reason up! He “found” it. Squatters rights. Or something.

Summary: “How did you find me? How did you know I would be here?”

“I know you,” Merlin merely says, because it’s true, and he refuses not to say it out loud just because Arthur might want to pretend otherwise. He’s told enough lies.

Arthur could take Morgana's betrayal and Uther's death, could take the loss of Lancelot and the fact that Merlin had magic. Barely and his days singed with grief, but his kingdom always came first. The revelation, though, that Merlin had been by his side through all these years and hardships solely due to some prophecy? That—well, that is the one truth too bitter to swallow.

When he leaves for an ill-advised break to his mother's childhood home to get away from it all, more things come to light than the simple and irrevocable fact that no authority—no king, no prince, no destiny—could ever make Merlin do anything.
