Mordred or Modred (/ˈmoʊdrɛd/; Welsh: Medraut, Medrod, etc.) is a character in the Arthurian legend, known 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 as Arthur's illegitimate son by one of his half-sisters, Morgan le Fay or Morgause. In earlier literature, he was considered the legitimate son of Morgause, also known as Anna, with her husband King Lot of Orkney. His brothers or half-brothers are Gawain, Agravain, Gaheris, and Gareth. The name (from either Old Welsh Medraut, Cornish Modred, or Old Breton Modrot) is ultimately derived from Latin Moderātus.
Mordred appears very early in Arthurian literature. The first mention of him, as Medraut, occurs in the Annales Cambriae entry for the year 537:
The Annales themselves were completed between 960 and 970, though their authors drew on older material. Mordred was associated with Camlann even at that early date, but as Leslie Alcock points out, this brief entry gives no information as to whether he killed or was killed by Arthur, or even if he was fighting against him; the reader assumes this in the light of later tradition. But even if he was not the notorious villain he would later become, his appearances in the Welsh Triads and genealogies show he was at least a well known personage.

Plot: A million miles away from 'Camelot' or 'Excalibur', this film ruthlessly strips the Arthurian legend down to its barest essentials. Arthur's knights, far from being heroic, are conniving and greedy men who, just before the film starts, have failed miserably to find the Holy Grail. Aimlessly resentful at first, the developing relationship between Lancelot and Queen Guinevere focuses their rage, leading to inevitable tragedy...
Keywords: armor, bathing, blood, castle, dagger, decapitation, duel, female-nudity, forest, horseTwisted dreams of tortured screams victims chained to die
A darkened cell of living hell with none to hear the cry
Perverted minds the most maligned plot your night of doom
The sullen earth of death or birth becomes your vile tomb
Sever and Splice
Hatchet and knife
Torture and lust
Taking your life
Axe to head a mortal's dead as screams tear through the night
The searing pain of severed veins to bone the blade shall bite
Lust and hate desecrate fulfill your ghastly needs
Rape and maul your bones to haul disguise your evil deeds
[Chorus]
[Solos]
Get away flee today bodies have been found
Rotting flesh horrid death bones beneath the ground
Deathly reek lawmen seek corpses of deceased
Twist and turn writhe and burn none will be released
One dies by suicide - Took life by cyanide
One fled to foreign land - free now to kill again
Lurk stalk with evil eye - Hack slash to take your life
Bent mind - A deadly rape
