Your Definition

Mordred was first mentioned in the Annales of Cambriae, where it was said that Mordred died alongside Arthur. However, it does not mention whether or not they were on the same side, or even their [relationship] with each other.

Notheless, Mordred was later branded as [King Arthur]’s treacherous nephew by Geoffrey of Monmouth. And then as his so-called “bastard son” by the French prose cyclical authors. Who were anything but faithful to their sources.

In the medieval ages, Mordred was typically seen as an unsympathetic, and a generic-power hungry villain who wanted the throne. Though, he was sometimes seen as a hero in welsh and Scottish sources.

Now, Mordred is sometimes seen as a sympathetic and a [misunderstood] anti-hero in a few modern retellings. Usually by demonizing King Arthur or someone else. These authors typically follow the French prose cycles, which was French Cistercian [propaganda], where the “english” heroes were demonized for being “english” heroes, and where the now- demonized-French Arthur ordered the May Day massacre. But omit the part where Arthur changes his mind and the infants are miraculously saved from living in towers.
