Mordred or Modred (Welsh: Medraut) is a legendary figure of Britain, known in the Matter of Britain as a notorious traitor who fought King Arthur at the Battle of Camlann, where he was killed, and Arthur fatally wounded. Tradition varies on his relationship to Arthur, but he is best known today Arthur's illegitimate son by his half-sister Morgause. In earlier literature, he was considered Morgause (Anna)'s legitimate son with her husband King Lot of Orkney. His brothers or half-brothers are Gawain, Agravain, Gaheris, and Gareth.
