Commentary
Notes
The famous witch Morgana, like Merlyn, figures into the King Arthur legend. According to the legend, Morgan le Fay, or Morgana, was the witch in the castle that Wart and Kay encountered with Robin Wood (Robin Hood for the unenlightened), Maid Marian, Little John, and the merry men to rescue Friar Tuck, the Dog Boy, and an old man named Wat. Morgana was the child of the Duke of Cornwall and Igraine, the woman Uther Pendragon seduced to have Arthur. (contributed by William Givens)
Though according to legend King Arthur's reign was sometime around the 6th/7th centuries, in Rowling's world Morgana must have lived around 1000 (at the earliest) as her contemporary, Merlin, attended Hogwarts, which wasn't founded until around 990.
